DramaScience Fiction

Caleb, a coder at the world's largest internet company, wins a competition to spend a week at a private mountain retreat belonging to Nathan, the reclusive CEO of the company.

VIBE

This is a sleek, intellectually charged slow-burn that feels both futuristic and intimately unsettling. It's a claustrophobic dance of wits, draped in minimalist luxury, that constantly questions the nature of consciousness and control. The atmosphere is coolly tense, leaving you with a lingering, existential chill.
