CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
Jeremiah must navigate his way through a world populated by the survivors of a deadly epidemic that spared only those who had not yet reached puberty. Now those same survivors must find their way in a decadent civilization and attempt to create a new world order of hope.
Orphaned at 12 years old when the Big Death killed every adult over the age of puberty, Jeremiah has survived by his wits. Jeremiah has managed to keep his compassion and sense of humanity, in a world wrought with brutality. He is haunted by memories of his parents, who died in the Big Death, and of his younger brother, whose life he failed to protect.
Jeremiah, in his quest to find the Valhalla Sector, which he heard about from his father before the Big Death, is joined by the naive-but-colorful Kurdy.
A loner by nature, Jeremiah senses inherent safety in an alliance with Kurdy. Together they set out on a journey during which they discover rival social factions at war and young people who must make decisions without wisdom from those who lived before them.
BIOGRAPHY:
A versatile and talented actor, Luke Perry is one of the most charismatic performers of his generation. He recently completed shooting a 10 episode arc for HBO's critically acclaimed series, "OZ", in which he portrayed a new member of the prison population. Perry has also just finished two new films, " The Enemy", a spy thriller opposite Roger Moore, and "Fogbound", a pyscho-sexual thriller.

During his years on "Beverly Hills 90210", the long running series on primetime television, Perry appeared in independent films and major studio productions such as Columbia's " Fifth Element", directed by Luc Besson; "Riot" for Showtime; "Normal Life", for N ew Line; "American Strays", and "The Florentine", in which he co-starred with Chris Penn, Jim Belushi, Michael Madsen and Mary Stuart Masterson.

Perry made his feature film debut starring in "8 Seconds", the remarkable account of champion bullrider Lane Frost, which was directed by John Avildsen. Drawn to the project by the action, drama and simplicity of the story, Perry trained vigorously for 18 months, as well as co-producing the picture, in order to maintain the story's integrity.

In 1989, Perry was chosen for the starring role on the internationally popular television series, "Beverly Hills 90210", in which he portrayed the brooding but sensitive Dylan McKay. The highly rated program won a Golden Globe Award for Best Dramatic Television Series in 1991.
