Adult (25+)

Release Date: February 2022

What if the screens you look at every day we're looking right back at you, monitoring your every move, measuring your performance, and assigning you a social score that dictates the quality of your life? Toffy is a rising star, a successful engineer at J Enterprise, the megacorporation that looms over J City; its pyramid-shaped headquarters always visible. The J Enterprise screens watch him and everyone in J City, tracking productivity, suggesting appropriate behaviors, and adjusting social scores in the divided city. Despite his seemingly perfect life, Toffy feels the need to make a change; he feels called to use his gifts, write, and tell a story. In J City, words are controlled by J Enterprise. No one at J Enterprises, including his girlfriend Deja, his best friend Sarni, and his disapproving boss James, would understand his deep need for creative expression. But when a confidential assignment shifts his perspective, Toffy knows he has no choice but to write and tell the world his story - even if it costs him everything. Will Toffy succeed in finishing his story, getting his voice out, and changing the world? Or will the story cost him everything and change his destiny?
