Afectus| Αφή: to feel, adfectus: emotions Ava Collins decides to participate in a programme experimenting on emotions. Every participant is programmed to feel one singular emotion per day. They are then given a steady job, a house and are paired up into random couples and forced to live a 'normal' life in a neighborhood sealed off from the rest of society. Career, house, partner. Everything you want from life! Just as long as they only feel their assigned emotion. However, the programme is faulty; they are experimenting after all! People's emotions are returning and as a result, they suddenly disappear. When a shocking incident breaks the program's control over Ava, she must continue as normal to save herself. She is confident she can trick the system, yet a fellow participant, Daniel Harris, is quick to notice; having recently dominated his emotions. Being in charge of their emotions once more, they join forces in an attempt to escape. The growing urge to reveal their true feelings, to speak up in moments of passion and protect each other at all costs, complicates things as they try to battle the system. While falling in love in such a situation proves easy, they must learn to trust each other and put reason above passion.
