A soulbound is an unfortunate happenstance in which two people's lives are tied together, literally.  If one of them is hurt, the other is hurt, and if one of them dies, the other will die.  Simply breaking the connection with the power of a Golden Apple or any other means will result in the souls slowly fading away, leaving their bodies dead in a matter of days anyway.  This phenomenon has plagued the world for so long that a research center, Soulbound Inc., is dedicated to finding out how to sever the link, and on one fateful day, a group of scientists decide to conduct an experiment to find this missing answer.  7 pairs of soulbounds, all willing to participate, are taken from their familiar homes in the city and placed in a rural-like neighborhood on Neverbound Island, sharing a home with their soulbound regardless of their relationship with them.  In the beginning, things seem okay. 
    
    Concerns begin to grow as the subjects are slowly cut off from the outside world, but not before the controversies of Soulbound Inc. begin coming to light.  By the time some of the residents begin to reconsider even wanting to be cut away from their bounds, it is too late to turn back. 
    
    No, it was always too late to turn back, because the previous victims of this company would tell you that Project: Neverbound was never meant to end with anyone alive.
