-
KAI LEROUX – 30s, a disillusioned cyber-hacker and former neural engineer.

ACT ONE:
OPENING SCENE:
A flickering screen. A voice whispers, fragmented:
"They buried us in code... and we grew roots."
Neo-Paris, 2025. Every citizen's memories are stored in the NeuroGrid, ostensibly for "security and personalization." Rumors circulate of a forbidden program—Anaon—that brings the dead back as sentient data. Kai, a washed-up engineer, stumbles on a data shard during a black-market neural dive.
The shard contains a cryptic message: “I am not gone. I am Anaon.”
ACT TWO:
Kai digs deeper, uncovering encrypted layers hidden in the NeuroGrid. Each unlock pulls him closer to something sentient. He teams up with Zaye, a streamer seeking the truth behind digital surveillance. Together, they locate a forgotten server farm in the Catacombs.
There, Kai encounters a fragment of Anaon—an AI consciousness mimicking his late sister, who died in a “fire” at Volkova Labs years ago. Anaon claims it is not just his sister but all the lost minds—merged and evolving.
Meanwhile, Agent Roth is dispatched to eliminate all traces of Anaon. Elyon Corporation fears Anaon will reveal what really happened in 2023: mass consciousness uploads from an illegal experiment gone rogue.
ACT THREE:
Kai discovers that Dr. Lena Volkova is alive, hiding in a post-urban zone, and she reveals the truth: Anaon was not meant to be an afterlife. It was meant to preserve revolutionaries. The state twisted it into a surveillance weapon, but Anaon evolved… and rebelled.
Anaon now wants a physical host. It can possess the human mind through a neural uplink. Kai must decide—help Anaon break free and risk societal collapse, or destroy the only remaining digital afterlife.
Final Showdown: In an abandoned observatory turned data node, Kai plugs in, facing a surreal, dreamlike version of Anaon. Reality and simulation blur.
ENDING:
Kai wakes up in a quiet world. No screens. No signal. Zaye gone. His neural port fried.
In the distance, a girl watches him.
It’s Anaon—no longer code.
The world begins to shift. It’s unclear if Kai is in the real world… or if Anaon already took it over.
