In the year 2071, the citizens of the once-divided metropolis of Prosperity Way are reeling from the collapse of the Kane Administration, an authoritarian regime that separated the wealthy Royalton district from the impoverished Zone B. With tension building, chaos looms between the social classes struggling to adapt to a new way of life, one where the wall has been opened. Fear and frustration increase when a brutal murder spree terrorizes the city.

The fierce—and one-armed—Hope Mulder is now an official Elite Front guard. She’s given the task of tracking down the killer and helping restore order to the city. It becomes a race against time to bring the culprit to justice. She feeds on passion and determination; she also isn’t afraid to break the rules to get things done. But when she’s assigned a partner, she’ll have to learn that being an “army of one” isn’t always the best way forward—defiance and independence become her greatest weakness, and threat.

Hope Unites is a story of a young woman’s perseverance as she fights to help prevent her city from descending into complete anarchy, while having her eyes opened along the way.

The Author / Filmmaker
“You deserve to be entertained through story,” says Ryan Souter.

Through his high school years Souter gravitated towards the areas of video production, acting classes, screenwriting, and high school theatre, playing the role of the monster in the high school play Frankenstein in Grade 11.

Having a strong interest in video production, screenwriting and acting, Souter and friends, David Hamm and Warren Pilozow, in Grade 12, made an independent film titled Deadly Resemblance. A passion for movie making was born.

“The creativity bug isn’t something you ever really get rid of when it latches onto you,” says Souter. “It may lay dormant at times, but it’s always there.”
