On her 200th birthday, Eva confronts the dark reality of immortality as she seeks to uncover the fate of her husband in 200.
In 200, Eva Thorne faces a grim reality on her 200th birthday. Instead of celebrating, she finds herself confronting the dark implications of immortality. In a world where aging and illness have been eradicated, only a select few can handle the weight of eternal life. On their two hundredth birthday, individuals must take a Centurial Assessment Test. Those who fail face euthanasia, and the stakes have never been higher for Eva, who is convinced she will not pass. The haunting memories of her husband Owen, taken away for his own test, compound her dread and despair.
Eva's life has spiraled into a haze of smoking and drinking as she grapples with the loneliness of possible immortality without Owen. Their connection spanned over 170 years, and the thought of losing him forever is unbearable. As she navigates the oppressive atmosphere of the testing facility, she catches a glimpse of a staff member who resembles her husband. This moment ignites a flicker of hope and determination within her. Eva realizes she must uncover the truth about Owen's fate—did he pass the test, and can they reunite in this new reality?
With the Escorts hot on her trail, Eva embarks on a desperate quest to rescue Owen from the clutches of a system that has torn them apart. In a thrilling turn of events, she discovers that the staffer is indeed Owen, but he no longer remembers her. Eva must find a way to restore their lost memories before she is lost to him forever. 200 is a gripping exploration of love, loss, and the true cost of immortality.
