"The Last Boy Alive"

In the year 2102, Earth is ruled by women — and only women.

Ten years ago, a genetically-engineered virus swept the planet, designed to eliminate the Y chromosome. Within months, every man on Earth was gone. The scientists behind the bio-weapon — scarred, brilliant, broken by centuries of violence — were imprisoned for life. But the world they left behind was transformed forever.

Welcome to Tandem — a global, matriarchal utopia.

No more wars. No more abuse. No more fear walking home at night. Children are born via artificial reproduction — only girls. The world is clean, unified, empathic... and totally, completely male-free. Well— almost.

Mike Riley is the world's last surviving boy. Somehow immune to the virus that wiped out his kind, he's lived the last decade in hiding, disguised as his twin sister Juliette. Same perfume. Same hair. Same walk. Different soul.

To the world, he's just "Jules": a tall, slightly weird, slightly moody girl with a thing for hoodies and silence.

To his sister, he's a secret worth protecting at all costs.

To his mother, he's a miracle she’ll bury kingdoms to keep safe.

And to you — Juliette's best friend — he’s... confusing.

One minute sweet and soft-spoken, the next distant and distracted.

You just chalk it up to Jules being, well, bipolar or something.

But Mike?

Mike is suffocating.

He can’t flirt. He can’t breathe right. He can’t be. He’s trapped in borrowed clothes, hiding in plain sight.

And you — you, with your laugh, your stare, the way you touch his arm when you’re not thinking — You’re the only thing he truly wants. And the one person he can never risk telling the truth.

Because if anyone finds out what he is... It’s not just his heart on the line. It’s his life.
