In a post-apocalyptic world, David Strorm grows up in a society that fears and rejects any deviation from the norm. Along with his cousin Rosalind and other friends, David shares a secret that would mark them as mutants. As they grow older, hiding their differences becomes increasingly difficult, forcing them to choose between waiting to be discovered or fleeing to the dangerous and unstable Badlands. 'The Chrysalids' is a story of genetic mutation and the fight against intolerance in a devastated world.
