3. Shiny Happy People

When a young British tennis champion, Joleen Kenzie, is diagnosed with a rare terminal illness, she has herself cryogenically frozen at an experimental lab in Seattle, in the hope that one day – perhaps hundreds of years into the future - there will be a cure and she can be revived.

Having escaped captivity, Joleen arrives by sea in Seattle with her companions, Remi, an escaped convict and Luther, a blind captain…

Written by Brett Neichin and John Scott Dryden, the creators of The Cipher and Passenger List, SteelHeads is a chilling medical thriller inspired by true events.
