WHERE NO SOAP HAS GONE BEFORE.

ALPHA is an edgy, off-the-planet mobisoap, aimed at 15–24s. An addictive mix of cliff hanger plots, today's music and black comedy. Made in uber cool CG 3D animation.

On their way to the stars, Lulu, Ronnie, Billy and Honey Bazook from L.A.

Fifty years from now, twenty-two trillion miles from Los Angeles, the Bazooks and another hundred thousand young colonists are almost halfway to a new world at Alpha Centauri.

The MadHop is forty-two miles long.

ESCAPING THE NEW ICE AGE.
It's 2057, the United Nations Interstellar Colony Ship Madison Hopkins, a.k.a. the MadHop, is on a sixteen year voyage across interstellar space. The greenhouse predictions all came to pass, the Gulf Stream is dead, Arctic and Antarctic meltdowns have buried many famous cities underwater and ice sheets will eventually devour two thirds of the Earth. Leaving a tiny strip around the equator for eight billion humans to sit out the next twenty-five thousand years, that being how long your average ice-age lasts.

A NEW WORLD UP FOR GRABS.

Probes had discovered a pristine Earth-like world orbiting Alpha Centauri B. Impending ice age and all that, it didn’t take too long for United States president Madison Hopkins to convince the UN to colonise it and umpteen trillions of dollars later, after a decade of construction, the first starship in history was on its way.

THE CHOSEN ONES.

One million people won a chance to be the first to escape the new ice age but only one in ten made it through the selection process. Although several thousand passed with flying colours after applying a tried and trusted ancient technique called bribery.

One million people won, but only one in ten were chosen.

In hindsight though, the processes of selection were seriously flawed and half of them should never have been allowed out beyond their front yard, let alone loose on the universe. Most unfortunately, that includes the British captain of the starship.

"MELROSE PLACE IN OUTER SPACE".
ALPHA begins at the halfway point on the voyage. After eight long years in deep space standards have gone way down hill, people are acting shamefully, the captain is acting disgracefully, and the UN's proud and noble mission to the stars now it looks a whole lot more like Melrose Place in outer space. Where there's overwhelming evidence to prove beyond doubt how deep space can profoundly effect human beings for the worst.
