Logline

In a town governed by a rigid digital grid that “fixes” any structural curve, a 14-year-old social outcast discovers a mysterious stone that allows him to manipulate reality with a touch.

When the town’s software violently clamps down on his school, Kep must choose between staying hidden and using his forbidden gift to save his peers.

A semi-sentient software monitors Thomasville in real time. It sees every curve as structural failure—and forces reality back into a straight line.

The Orbstones

Ancient artifacts buried in the soil respond to human intent and steam, creating temporary lattices of light that override the town’s digital laws.
