We've all had those moments when we wake up from a long and deep sleep but don't remember feeling fatigue or tired. We don't remember falling asleep, or even dozing off. There will be split seconds where we don't remember where we are or how we got there. For a minute, our minds are completely blank, covered in a blurry, thick haze. We forget everything, but a second later, it all comes back to us. Our names, birthdays, lyrics to a favorite song, we remember it all.
What if we didn't though? In the very second you forgot it all and may never remember it again.
In a world, corrupted and changed, where fear hangs like an undying overcast, a group of people, must fight hard to not only find themselves, but tear down the thing that destroyed them. One young woman, must train hard to find her name and place in the world. With the aid from a hidden rebellion, she believes there is hope. However, things aren't easy, with bounty hunters chasing you down and an organization intent on control every fiber of your being, hot on your trail, it's hard to feel safe.
Even with that, bounty hunters and a corrupted government with intentions to enslave her are the least of her worries, it's the one pulling the strings in the background, the ones hanging in the shadows, they are the true source of her fears.
Tanglawan, a new land that emerged from the ruins of what was once the Philippines, continues to flourish, as facilitated by the Exorbit, a government-owned microchip introduced to a person's body. Everyone feels safe and well taken care of, with their fates, including their love lives, already predetermined.
Everything was in place, until one day, Pia, a Keeper-in-training, came across something she wasn't supposed to see, in the midst of her desperate attempt to get together with Agui, her first love.
Pia is convinced that Agui is her real love and her not getting together with him was the reason why all relationships she tried entering into always end on a bad note. There's only one problem in their getting together, though-her Exorbit malfunctions when she uses it with Agui, and their compatibility and dating prompts don't show.
Determined to find a solution to what she thinks is the only thing keeping her and Agui from getting together, Pia finds herself entangled in the operations of Mulat, an underground movement of great thinkers who wanted to break free from government control brought by the Exorbit. There, she meets Aki, a dreamy, idealistic guy who also makes her heart skip a beat.
In this post-apocalyptic society where choices are limited, Pia found herself deciding not just for herself but also for the future of the entire Tanglawan.
Will she make the right choice?
