I am Evangeline

Logline: Evangeline is a runaway clone. Manufactured for a rich man’s pleasure, she’s flesh and blood, but condemned to a short life, snatched between frequent sleeps. The only rumoured cure lies with Diana, the woman she was cloned from. Evangeline must have cells from Diana’s hypothalamus, the sleep centre deep inside her brain. But Diana is a powerful adversary, with equally powerful friends.
