When the Sleeper Awakes
Synopsis
Imagine waking up after two centuries to find yourself the wealthiest man on Earth, only to discover your fortune fuels a dystopian society. This is the fate of a man who falls into a mysterious sleep in 1890s England, only to awaken in a future where his wealth supports widespread enslavement. He becomes the unlikely hope for the oppressed masses, a symbol of freedom they've long awaited.
