Fault: Gamma is a dramatic TV series that involves two terminally ill characters —Terri Graham, and Martin Vessor— searching for answers as to how their loved one died in a historic nuclear meltdown in Detroit, Mi. Nearly a year has passed since Cheryl Graham —a renowned engineer— had her life taken, in what the media claims “an heroic attempt to prevent the reactors from melting down.”

  Her daughter, Terri, and Martin, who was once her fiancé, eventually finds evidence of foul play in her death, and decides to roam the wasteland of New London for evidence. As they dig deeper into the mystery, they discover fragmented information on a underground facility code-named The Blue Lake Project. Terri grows more concerned about opening Pandora’s box, but Martin encourages to push along as he feels the investigation could lead to something deeper.

The story behind Martin is a troubled one. Before the meltdown, he had a lovely fiancé, promising career, and lived in a quiet environment. He never asked for much. No specific goal for fortune, nor a need for popularity. He just wanted to spend his days as a biology professor, passing on knowledge to a new generation that needed it the most. But after the incident, everything fell apart.

He questions how the nuclear incident lead to so many mysteries. But the inconsistencies about how Cheryl died was the nail in the coffin. When Martin found out that him and Terri are both diagnosed with radiation poisoning, he stops caring about the normal life that surrounds him. His appearance changes, along with his mood.

Terri is a completely introverted, yet gifted prodigy in technology. Her main proficiency lies in programming under multiple languages, but she doesn’t shy away from learning hardware either. Terri lives most of her life in a computer. She considers herself an ethical hacker when the time arises, but is constantly approached by those who always try to bend her rules in exchange for decent money. With that said, she always turns down the offer of becoming a black hat hacker. It is also why she prefers to be isolated from people while in college. Anybody who request an odd job within her code of ethics is strictly a transaction to her. Her only friend that she associates with is Maria Hayes, due to her unconditional loyalty and understanding.
