A mysterious virus has wiped out the adult population leaving children to fend for themselves. Tribes of children now roam the lands, living in encampments of tents, crude primitive dwellings and caves. Tribes such as the Ants who live and farm in a snow capped mountainous region and just want to live in peace, unlike the Barbs who control the rivers and forests and are determined to extend their rule. It is the Privileged though, who strive for total dominance as well as perfection of look, style and attitude, even if it means oppressing their slaves, the Discards. The New Tomorrow combines action and adventure, mystery and intrigue, humour and pathos with underlining themes of hope and human endeavour where good always triumphs in the end. (26 x 24min)

A sequel of sorts to The Tribe (1999 - 2003)
