Synopsis:-
In the future, society is divided between 'low-drives' that equate with the labouring classes and 'hi-drives' who control the government and media. The low-drives are controlled by a constant broadcast of pornography that the hi-drives are convinced will pacify them, though one hi-drive, Nat Mender , believes that the media should be used to educate the low-drives. After the accidental death of a protester during the Sex Olympics gets a massive audience response, the Co-ordinator Ugo Priest decides to commission a new programme. In The Live Life Show, Nat Mender, his partner Deanie and their daughter Keten are stranded on a remote Scottish island while the low-drive audience watches. Mender's former colleague, Lasar Opie , realising that “something got to happen”, decides to spice up the show by introducing a psychopath, Grels to the island. When Grels goes on a murderous rampage, Ugo Priest is horrified when the audience reacts with laughter to the slaughter and The Live Life Show is deemed a triumph.
