SyNOPSIS: A talented but inconsistent storyteller finally gets access to the kind of opportunity he’s been chasing his entire life. What begins as a meeting to secure funding quickly evolves into something far more complex—placing him in a system built on discipline, control, and consequence.

As he moves deeper into this world, he’s forced to confront the one flaw that’s followed him everywhere: he doesn’t stay. But in a space where leaving isn’t always an option, he must decide whether he’s capable of becoming the version of himself required to survive—and succeed.

“It’s Nightcrawler meets Sicario, with the dialogue tension of The Social Network, told through a CineVert™ format built for modern platforms.”
