Advance Guards

In a futuristic Los Angeles where everyone works from home, and everything needed comes through "the chute", at 19, Thom's life seems planned out for him--until he meets Celia. Celia and her family are different, but after Thom's eyes are opened, their life is not different enough for him. Can you leave the life that is all you've ever known and seemingly all anyone has ever known except in rumors and myths, or are they just rumors and myths?

The young couple make their choice. Through naivety and tragedy they achieve their vision, but now, decades and seemingly an entire lifetime later, each of their 7 children face the same choice--one at a time as they grow to maturity knowing only the way of living primitively off the land but destined to move to the city they've never known.

Will your children prefer the city life you rejected, or prefer the life you chose to live? Each must make their own choice, and some of their choices may affect everyone, not just their family--for good or ill or maybe both.
