Children of Men

In a chaotic future Britain where no child has been born for years, a loner helps the world's only known pregnant woman to safety.

2027. In a chaotic future, children are no longer being born because of a years-long fertility crisis. Borders are closed, and Britain has become a brutal police state, with immigrants herded into cages and treated like animals.

Government employee Theo receives a message from someone from his past, asking for help getting a refugee some papers. But Theo is soon drawn into something much bigger than himself. Kee is not just a refugee needing help - she is pregnant.
