My Life In Your Hands

The Hopes are a typical English family living in 1989s Britain. Its a time when the country is going through immense change, and thats even before the brand new state-of-the-art Singlemart superstore opens up in their little midlands town, generating much excitement among the residents. The catch, however, is that everyone must use a swipe card which records every item they purchase, and the items have been given negative or positive values, depending on how healthy that item is deemed to be. The overall individual points result in either a bright future... or none at all. Unfortunately, the new Singlemarts are just the tip of the iceberg; with the government looking to control every aspect of their citizens lives, there are dark times ahead. With most of her family obeying the rules, will Diane Hope comply like shes been doing her whole life, or will she stand up and fight for once?
