Awakening from a 35-year cryogenic slumber, Ryan finds himself untouched by time while the world around him has evolved into a utopian landscape. Tasked with resolving a cybernetic catastrophe he inadvertently triggered three decades ago, his creation now erodes identities and disrupts the R2F points system, determining citizens’ freedom.

However, Ryan’s intellectual prowess has waned, casting him as a mere shadow of his former self. Struggling to trust those responsible for his revival, he grapples with haunting flashbacks that hint at enemies that are now his carers . Guided by enigmatic tattoos on his wrist, he embarks on a journey to unravel the mystery of his past and confront his role in rectifying the hack.

As he seeks answers, Ryan confronts the unsettling question of why his previous self sought to dismantle today’s infrastructure, unraveling a complex web of motives. The consequences of failure loom large, leaving him to ponder whether the new version of himself is inherently good, and if the old Ryan harbored malevolent intentions. In a race against time, he must navigate moral ambiguity, decode his own history, and decide whether to be a savior or succumb to the shadows of his former self.

As chaos ensues with the unraveling of the internet and its connected systems, plunging society into darkness both figuratively and literally, individuals now unbound by the points system exploit their newfound freedoms, yielding terrorizing consequences.

Tina, the pre-crime president, shoulders the weight of restoring order. Unfazed by moral constraints, she ventures into forbidden territories, employing outlawed methods such as torture to regain control over the criminal justice system, heavily reliant on the internet and the R2F points system.

Amidst the turmoil, Ryan grapples with the duality of his existence, torn between two opposing factions of society and the imminent collapse of civilization. Faced with a pivotal decision, he chooses to align with law enforcement to reinstate the system. However, convincing the police proves to be a daunting task, as he must navigate the intricacies of his own creation and persuade them that his former self is too cunning to relinquish the ultimate choice. In this intricate web of fate, Ryan becomes a pawn of his own design, caught between conflicting allegiances and the impending demise of a world he is just discovering.

I have had considerable positive and some critical feedback for this screenplay and I am currently working on a revised version.
