Bugz:contact traces an adventure of universal proportions: where do we come from and are we the only intelligent life forms in this Universe?

As our planet succumbs to industrial over-development, climate change threatens food supplies and future survival, giving rise to eco-terrorism.Spanning the ages, the great scientists - Archimedes, Galileo, Newton and Einstein have advanced our understanding of the inner world of particle physics. The assistants to these great men have been spreading knowledge - like stones thrown in a giant pool, spreading its ripples as 'contact' draws ever nearer.

The famous Icarus Ashcroft from Cambridge, has been working on the new twin particle collider built at CERN in Geneva, where the final secrets of our universe will come to light. Meanwhile, the Blipp Corporation has a grip on global communications with its IDO product; Bertholdt Lipp, its billionaire owner has much bigger plans. Elsewhere, the irresistible Russian physicist Svetlana toys with men of power until they are broken and discarded. In another time and place an alien and yet familiar life-form has received a message suggesting 'Salvation' can be found at the far edges of their universe. Somehow their existence can be explained by embarking on a tortuous quest along a dangerous pearl road of ages long past.

The very soul of humankind is laid bare and asked the ultimate questions: Will it learn from the past and survive the future?
