Synopsis

In a not-so-distant future, the groundbreaking Simulacron project blurs the lines between reality and simulation, thrusting the world into a web of intrigue and shadowy mysteries. When the project's visionary leader meets an untimely death, a veil of suspicion descends upon the digital realm they've created.

Dr. Stiller, a brilliant yet troubled scientist, finds himself spiraling into a labyrinth of secrets when a close friend inexplicably vanishes. As he delves deeper, he must confront the unsettling possibility that the answers lie within Simulacron itself, propelling him on a perilous journey where every truth seems to unravel into yet another enigma.
