Chetna exists in a surveillance-run quarantine where memory is a fragile construct. Navigating a geometric lattice of recursive lies and engineered complacency, she begins to question the very fabric of her surroundings. In this psychological sci-fi odyssey, existential doubt becomes the key to tearing down an illusionary reality.

Brian and Sofia have been a matching set since childhood. Now in college, a unique set of circumstances has allowed them to bypass the usual roommate lottery, sharing a cluttered dorm room that serves as their sanctuary from the chaos of campus life. Brian, a man of quiet habits and Sofia, a girl with a loud personality and the love for drinking, finds comfort in the predictable rhythm of their friendship. Everything changes during a local night out at a bar as Brian's gaze locks onto a girl on stage with her fingers flying across the strings of a guitar. For the first time, Brian feels a "spark"-a sensation he's only ever read about in books and never quite believed was real.
