Delhi, the near future: Joey (Bijoyini Roy) is an Associate Reality Controller, running the Flow (live, curated, multichannel videostream) of Indi, a popular entertainment Icon who also happens to be her ex. She hires Rudra, a family friend who's being pressured into abetting his family's exploitative concerns: this sparks a chain of events that open Joey's eyes to the inequity, corruption and superficiality of the society in which she lives.( no spoilers )
'Dystopia is pornographic, Olamina. You see it and shiver but it's also kind of fun because it's happening somewhere else, to someone else, you know? It requires distance.
