Slick Star

Synopsis

We are in the year 2109. The ecosystem of our planet has suffered serious damage. Through the fault of humanity, it has gradually deteriorated, leaving behind only a few scraps of what was once the essence of our world and what we called "nature." Of its former wealth, there is almost no trace left and humans have had to exile themselves on huge space colonies orbiting the Earth. Into this world, a powerful consortium was born, whose objective is to transform our planet into a resort, creating areas able to accommodate a limited number of inhabitants. Our story begins on one of the many space colonies, an unhealthy slum: Slick Star Midas. It is there that the bounty hunter Range Quaterman and his friends try to survive, soon to be caught up with a terrible scheme involving drugs, cybernetic manipulation and cloning.
