They then capitalized on this technology by selling very expensive health insurance policies to the wealthy people who want to live forever. The clients were told that the company is keeping a stock of cloned body parts which they will use for perfectly compatible organ transplants.

They were made to believe that they were the last survivors of the human race and they vied for a spot in “The Island” which is supposedly the last frontier of the earth. Their every move is being monitored and there are rules for everything.If curiosity killed the cat, Lincoln Six-Echo’s inquisitive nature saved him and the others. He had a lot of questions about the things around him and about what they are told to believe.

When he asked his friends and the authorities at the facility, he does not get straight answers so he decided to take the risk of violating the facility’s rules and find the answers himself.

If he did not violate the rules in his confined world, the insurance company’s sinister business would not be exposed to the open and its clients would remain oblivious to the fact that someone identical to them had to die in order for them to live.
