Isis Wise, is a fictional singer/ songwriter who is a member of a rebellious group of exiled artists known as The Sky Children. Her music has inspired a revolt against a corrupt regime. How has she been able to reach the masses without blowing her cover? Through the only art forum left:“Cyberspace Mix Tapes.â€Her Story takes place in the year 2015 in Los Angeles. The world has faced massive changes resulting from wars, changes in government and natural disasters. California has become an island, having broken away from the rest of the Northern Continent. Before the break California was being governed by a militant extremist. He is now referred to only as “The King.†With the blessing of the US president he continues to rule as he please.People that fight against the New Ordinance are punished, the ones that fear the fight become his humble citizens. The longer he rules the more outrageous his ideas to maintain order become. Because aggressive action has failed, people have begun using the arts as a way of protesting against the new government. Film, paintings, photography, music, dancing, story books all become tools for promoting change. “The King†decides to ban access to the arts. Radio stations are shut down, galleries and theaters closed, even bookstores are held down to strict standards of what they can sell. His reason, “It’s too easy to spread “Unpatriotic Propaganda†to his law abiding citizens, and that it could cause civil unrest.â€
And So it has been, that no harp, no bell has been heard in over 5 years......That is... Until Isis.......
