The basic idea:
After a destructive drug turned a high percentage of the population into violent, powerful people, a large percentage of the UK was sectioned off, with the hope of containing it. Three years later, the Inside - as it became known - is a dangerous, lawless place.
More detail:
The population of the United Kingdom were addicted to drugs. Most are harmless and widely accepted, designed to calm people or bring their mood up (or down) for example, but three years ago scientists introduced a new drug called Ultimate. It was designed to enhance senses and physical power, as well as being pleasurable to the user. The government wanted to rush the trials, as the public were getting itchy to try Ultimate (as were the government officials), so human testing was cut down to just three months.
The first two months went fine. The drug worked as planned with no side effects, but during the third month of trials - a fortnight before the release date - the scientists noticed the chemical structure of the drug was changing. So sure that the drug would be successful, they?d already manufactured hundreds of boxes of the substance. They tested what had already been made and found the same problem: the chemical structure had evolved.
The original test subjects were fine (and the effects of the drug had long worn off), but the recent subjects and those that took the mutated drug, had heightened senses, heightened physical power, but also heightened personalities, particularly those with a tendency to be violent.
The scientists announced they?d no longer be releasing the drug and the public were furious. That night, hundreds of boxes of Ultimate were stolen from a warehouse. In an international panic, knowing that thousands of strong, violent people were about to spread into the public, they sectioned off a proportion of the United Kingdom.
The Inside ? as it became known ? was lost to chaos in the space of a few weeks. It was lawless, dangerous and just about destroyed.
Three years later, there are thousands of people still living in The Inside, fighting for survival in a gang-ruled land. People are still making all the drugs, including Ultimate, but there are rumours a new, permanent Ultimate it being made.
