When all non-digital communication has been banned, two extroverted souls meet and fall in love under the watchful eye of an all-digital government.
PLOT SUMMARY
Freedom of expression plunged our world into chaos. In order to restore and keep civility in society, the major social media giants of the early 20’s banded together to form Psydkik. The governments of the world soon adopted the platform to monitor citizens and stop trouble before it occurs.
In the face of overwhelming penalties, two of our citizens, Linus and Analis, begin to have a relationship based on love. At first, we tried to discourage this relationship using our therapist Synapse_Z7. But the couple ignored us, blatantly disregarding the las that keep society civil and quiet.
To make matters worse, Linus and Anlis began having verbal conversations, and even using the most illegal technology, the pen, to communicate with written notes.
Now with the help of an old friend, Sierra, who’d escaped our system, they’ve begun to plot a way to make their own escape.
Now Synapse_Z7, along with our trusted Agent805 has been tasked with stopping Linus and Analis. The time is getting close, and they must stop them before they escape our system, and our grasp forever.
For the good of society.

ROLES AND CAST ATTACHMENTS
Linus
LEAD – 30s-40s, Male
Friendly, funny and extremely extroverted, Linus is generally not one to cause trouble. However, in a society designed to keep people quiet and distant, his outgoing nature can be very problematic.
Analis
LEAD – 20s-30s Female
Sharp-witted and staunchly individualist, Analis is not one to take orders from anyone. She often drowns herself in alcohol to keep her defiant temper at bay. When she meets Linus, however, her ability to stay obedient dissolves.
Sierra
20s-30s, Female
Linus’s girlfriend from before the change to Psydkik, Sierra is a rebel through and through. Unwilling to conform, Sierra leaves Linus before the changeover, eventually becoming the leader of “Magnets,” the group of people who live outside the software.
Synapse_Z7
40s-50s, Female
Possibly digital, possibly human, Synapse_Z7 is a Psydkik therapist who’s job is to counsel troubled citizens in order to better get along in the new system. Though she seems friendly, her methods are invasive and calculating, and she will do or say anything to protect Psydkik.
Agent805
40s, Male
A Psydkik cop, Agent805 is a real human being hired by the system to keep control over citizens. His disposition is disturbingly sweet, and he seems to genuinely enjoy his work keeping people in line.
Polarity
20s-30s, Male or Female
Considered by many to be the most dangerous man alive, Polarity is covered in tattoos which prevents him from being barcoded like most people in the system. Because of this, he can exist within the software without being watched. He’d been imprisoned for a long time, but is out thanks to Sierra.
