A Cyberpunk Paranoia
A Story Lab Production
Written and directed by Thomas Riccio, Story Lab Director.

In a Cyberpunked Dystopian near future, refugees from crime, corruption, and chaotic outside enter into an enclosed and protected institution run by the Sponsors.  These refugees are revealed to be carefully selected Clients, a sampling of what remains of the outside social order. They find themselves a part of the Agenda, an immersive environment where everything is under an omniscient surveillance –their biology, behavior, sexuality, thoughts, beliefs, and emotions—part of a data gathering and processing system. The Clients are simultaneously experiments, sport, consumer test, and entertainments, their every need and desire observed, anticipated, manipulated. Their implant induced paranoia blurs hallucination and reality, and what we take for granted as representing humanity, disappears. Then it becomes all about power, the Alpha Male, and who will triumph.
