SKY CITY HAYA

A TV SERIES YOU’D LOVE TO WATCH! but a future you’re desperate to avoid..

ADRIEN ROUSSEAU, the world’s most inspirational figure, has DISAPPEARED! In the face of climate-induced annihilation, this former refugee became an influential advocate for humanity’s last hope — HAYA, the world’s first sky city. Still under-construction by refugees and home to an elite class of XKON citizens, Rousseau works as their poster boy to mobilize millions of refugees needed for the effort. But when he goes missing, it puts their well-laid plans in jeopardy.

Rousseau’s wife, NAMITA, believes that HAYA should be a home for all people and not just the elite. She uses her political influence in an attempt to help the embattled refugees below. Her determination has taken her far but she has also gotten into bed with XKON’s corporate powers who undermine everything she fights for. When her husband goes missing, she is determined to find him but not knowing who to trust, she’s forced to seek the help of a man who wants nothing to do with her.

His name is AZZAN, a troubled yet brilliant bounty hunter who cleverly navigates the dystopian world of 2248. With rich and poor alike, Azzan engages in a charm offensive, speaking multiple languages and pulling out all the stops, all while using his secret weapon — a psychological condition known as SYNESTHESIA. This makes him an effective human lie detector as he travels the world, expertly finding missing people for high-paying XKON clients. Despite his good intentions, Azzan suffers crippling guilt caused by the deaths of loved ones when he was a young activist fighting against XKON. His attempt to keep these demons at bay comes in the form of personal justice; searching for old activist friends who were likely killed or captured by XKON.

When Namita finally meets Azzan to ask for his help, he flat out refuses. She used to protest alongside him years ago before she broke his heart and left him for Adrien Rousseau — a man who Azzan despises above all others. But Namita is nothing if not persistent, sensing that Azzan might still have feelings for her, she cleverly uses this to her advantage and finally manages to convince him.

RIQUIRDO SALAZAR, XKON’s dangerous black-ops director, is feared by his enemies and loved by his friends. A man who detests refugees, he acts as both judge and executioner for those who would threaten XKON’s plans. He disguises his darkness with a charming public persona, enjoying the latest fashion trends, throwing lavish parties and entertaining high society friends. When Rousseau goes missing, Riquirdo immediately springs to action, rounding up and deporting several sky citizens.

Unaware of this, Azzan travels the world, searching for the sky citizens that Riquirdo has deported because they hold the key to discovering Rousseau’s whereabouts. One-by-one, he finds these diverse individuals who come from all walks of life. They share their stories of struggle and how they came into contact with Rousseau. But the clock is ticking as Riquirdo has set his sights on Azzan. A tense political battle plays out, which draws attention away from a technical flaw in the city’s design that, if left unchecked, will spell certain doom for the city’s inhabitants. Azzan must find a way to reach Adrien Rousseau — the only one who can save the city — before Riquirdo finds him and all hope is lost. In doing so, Azzan will finally face the demons that have spent years haunting him.

SKY CITY HAYA is a deeply personal story about the struggle to overcome adversity and find redemption, while also touching on larger themes such as climate change, social inequality and how the steps we take today will define the world we’ll have to live with tomorrow. This is why SKY CITY HAYA is the most relevant sci-fi TV series for our time.
