Feature Script by

Logline: 
In the near future, an orphan is invited to a mysterious eSports tournament. But when law enforcement warns her that the tournament is funded by a crime syndicate, she becomes an unwilling spy for the government.

Synopsis: 

In the future, green land and clean air have become commodities. Due to air pollution, the life expectancy in inner cities has dropped to 30. 

17 year old Zelda is an orphan with disjointed, repressed memories. She works in a factory that manufactures high-tech air purifiers for the wealthy. Instead of purchasing one for the whole orphanage, she buys a futuristic VR gaming suit called the Dame-Dame in hopes that she can use it to experience all the places she won’t live to see. 

One day the Creators of the Dame-Dame announce that they will be conducting beta testing in the form of a random-selection eSports tournament.  

Shortly after being selected, Zelda and two other teens are approached by the FBI and asked to wear surveillance equipment. They suspect that the company is actually a cyber-crime syndicate responsible for countless cases of hacking and information laundering.  In return for conducting surveillance, the teens will each receive a home in the woods, where they can live peacefully and breathe easily. 

Zelda and the others agree, eager for long lives of solitude and freedom.  However, as the mission progresses, they realize they may never get to live alone; but they may die together.
