Synopsis:

The future is here. Bioterrorism. Designer babies. Frankenfoods. Suddenly Humanity possesses the ability to play god. But is it progress-or madness? Will cutting-edge science be our salvation? Or our demise?

ReGenesis is a 13-part, dramatic series about NorBAC, an organization formed to investigate questionable advances in biotechnology.

The Pandora's box of biotech is wide open. It's a modern gold rush, where billions will be made and geo-power will be staked. And everyone's involved: governments, multinational drug companies, rogue states, and terrorist. But ideas can't be put back in-once they're out, they're out.
