Episode 3:Heart Without Brakes

Description: Binary code and human bone: the intersection where the future of our species is being rewritten. 

Binary and Bone is an intellectually rigorous, off-beat science fiction drama that explores the dark ethics of human optimization. Written by actual human and practicing physician Gary Pepper, M.D., this highly original series balances atmospheric world-building with an edgy, scientifically plausible look at a future that is closer than you think. 

In this episode: A routine day at a South Bronx hospital turns grotesque when an autopsy report exposes the true cost of human arrogance. A toddler, genetically engineered by back-alley "cowboys" to be a designer athlete, arrives in total cardiac arrest. Without a myostatin genetic brake pedal, his heart muscle grew unchecked—choking itself to death from the inside out. 

As the rogue clinic vanishes into the digital ether, Dr. Benny Spritzer steps out into the cold New York evening. His mind is racing against his own failing health, entirely unaware that events inside his own home are about to draw him deeper into a web of genetic manipulation he never conceived of.
