THE WEB-SERIES
The Future Now series is centered around a mysterious destructive event - the Unraveling. While nobody in the story knows exactly what form the Unraveling will take, they do know it threatens all of humanity. Through each episode we explore a person, place or thing that the Ecclesia believe could be a cause of the Unraveling, while the five factions fight to make their vision of the future, reality.
