Created by Tom Hanks the series begins after the world has ended. Electric City represents peace and security in the midst of rubble. Even though it seems to be an orderly utopia, there are still secrets, back-alley dealings, daring chases and murder.
In an post-apocalyptic setting, mankind is reduced to small settlements whose main business is to produce electric power. With fossil and nuclear fuel sources mostly depleted, the communities are dependent on naturally created electricity, be it by air, water, or muscle power (the latter of which is used as a punishment for criminals and other undesirables of this society). Under the motto "All in service for all" everyone must contribute to society's welfare.
Electric City is actually a collective name for several geographically separated precincts. Central cultural and social administration takes place at Central Stations.
The precincts' main connection is by their power cables and radio, but free communication, trading and traveling has been made illegal, since it presents the wasting of precious electrical power reserves as well as the gradual loss of influence of the "knitting society", a matriarchal group of war survivors who founded Electric City and are ruthlessly trying to maintain their power base. Especially the Tap Coders, an underground movement of free-thinkers trying to circumvent the current social restrictions by establishing an illegal communications network, present a considerable thorn, which they seek to eliminate.
The main protagonist is Cleveland Carr (voiced by Tom Hanks), a grid agent and covert operative assigned by the "knitting society" to take out illegal or undesirable elements." |
