Title: Bound by the System: A Tale of Love and Control
In the near future, a new system is being tested in a prison, changing the dynamics between guards and prisoners in unexpected ways. This system, designed to enforce absolute control, instead becomes the catalyst for a gripping love story filled with tension and forbidden emotions.
Synopsis:
Rosa, a young and idealistic prison guard, steps into her new role with a strong sense of justice and determination to succeed. Her career path is clear: a few years in the prison will secure her a promotion. Rosa's cool and composed exterior masks her true, more vulnerable self, as she strives to avoid any "mistakes" that could jeopardize her future.
Enter Rain, a charismatic and intelligent prisoner with a talent for hacking. His bright and friendly demeanor belies a keen sense of justice and a willingness to do whatever it takes to protect those he cares about. Despite his incarceration, Rain's ability to see through the facades of others makes him a formidable yet misunderstood figure.
Complicating matters is Cielo, the senior guard and Rosa's mentor. Respected and admired, Cielo embodies the dual nature of the prison system: kind and supportive to his colleagues, yet ruthlessly strict with the prisoners. He was one of the first to be involved in testing the new system, which has only deepened his commitment to maintaining order.
The System:
The new system involves chips implanted in every person within the prison. These chips connect guards and prisoners through physical contact, allowing for constant monitoring and control. Intended to reinforce the hierarchical structure, the system instead creates an intricate web of relationships and emotions.
The Love Story:
As Rosa and Rain's paths cross, their interactions, facilitated by the system, blur the lines between duty and desire. Their connection grows, challenging Rosa's beliefs and Rain's trust in others. Meanwhile, Cielo's watchful eye and the system's invasive nature add layers of tension and danger to their budding relationship.
