False Horizon

Miles is an ordinary guy facing a prison sentence, so he takes the only lifeline offered: become a live-in test subject for a secretive tech startup. The deal is simple. He lets them implant a neural interface, and his record is wiped clean. But nobody will tell him what the experiment actually is.

Inside the system he finds a digital utopia. However, the true miracle isn’t the code—it’s Summer, the brilliant architect behind it. Neither of them expected to fall in love, but they are perfect for each other. Terrified by the consequences, Summer tries to keep Miles at a tortured distance, knowing that the moment he understands the true nature of the experiment, he will never look at her the same way again.

Meanwhile, Miles befriends his neighbor—an old blind man, Amos, who is also trying to navigate the system. Unbeknownst to Miles, Amos is manipulating his every move, leading him deeper into a moral maze to see just how much of his own soul Miles is willing to trade for this perfect life. In a world where you can see anything you want… the hardest thing to spot is the trap.
