For Varian, Isra and Ren, the adopted children of President Nathaniel Dex of the Dex Island munitions corporation, life is one long fight for survival. As genetically enhanced primary soldier prototypes, they have been raised between the military base and the lab, enduring torturous treatments and extreme training exercises, and now they've been given the chance to leave it all behind. To them, deployment looks like freedom and killing another country's enemies is an easy price to pay, but it doesn't take long for those enemies to teach them that war is not a transaction, and killing is always personal. Staring down the barrel of a grim future split between mistreatment at home and endless battles overseas, they are forced to find hope in the worst possible places. In Episode 8 of The Dex Legacy, you heard: Kam Elliott as Varian Dex Kelsey Griffin as Isra Dex Charlie Richards as Ren Dex Chris Gregory as Nathaniel Dex Eleni Aristeidou as Doctor Osa Srivastava Lewie Watson as Doctor Devek Za Warren Graham as Tristan Krail Alex White as Kit Johansson Tiffany Clare as Valentina Vardi David S.
