Welcome to the peculiar trial of a pharmaceutical experiment, where Annie and Owen volunteer, each plagued by their inner demons. Do they bond? Absolutely!

As their psyches interweave, the line between imagination and reality blurs. Minds playing tricks or pills doing their thing?

A trippy, animated ride through existential conundrums. Meet Clancy, the spacecaster, who jumps from world to world, interviewing beings about life, death, and everything in-between.

With shifting alliances, a quest for love, and the rich ruling immortal, this cyberpunk world is anything but black and white.
