In a not-so-distant future, a prestigious corporation rises to global prominence. The Elysian Company, celebrated for its advances in artificial intelligence, claims it is on the verge of reshaping humanity itself. Many are skeptical, after all, it isn't the first corporation to make such promises, and it won't be the last. Orestis and Calliope, longtime friends, have spent their lives working within Elysian's polished walls, their days defined by routine and quiet resignation. But everything changes when the company begins testing its newest technology, not on random volunteers, but on its own employees. What starts as innovation becomes transformation. For better of for worse, only time will tell. One will slip free from the company's hold. One will be pulled deeper into its grasp.
