BlueLife is a character driven sci-fi audio series set in the post-apocalyptic city-state of Los Angeles which is believed to be the last bastion of humanity. In the midst of environmental collapse, two warring factions fight for control of a life-saving drug, BlueLife, which will determine the outcome of the human race. Set in the year 2088, shortly after the Second Blood War, our story deals with the ideas of class and power. This series combines the styles of Blade Runner, LA Confidential, The Matrix, and the series Firefly.
