Everyone knows the government has been growing more and more corrupt as time goes on. But so far, nothing has really changed for anyone. Until now. People notice a decrease in cognitive function, a general fogginess in the mind, and the itch to constantly be working. However, no one can place what's really going on, until a teen girl goes camping with her family and notices in a dramatic change in the way she feels and the way she behaves; but she feels sluggish once she returns home. Believing it's simply the fresh air working wonders for her mental health, she and her friend spend the day away from the bustle of city out hiking in the nearby mountains where they feel more alive. Suddenly, they is met by a strange teenage boy who explains his seemingly crazy conspiracy: the government is using machines to send brain waves that are nearly mind-control to big city residents. Intrigued and alarmed, the friends must choose to believe the crazy conspiracy that seems to somehow add up, rather than to laugh and return home to potentially be nothing more than mindless workers. They may have made the right decision, but at what cost? (This story is going to kinda long so just bear with me)
