Genre: Psychological Tech Thriller
Episodes: 10
Duration: 55–65 minutes each
SERIES
STORY (Before Episodes)
एक
modern metro city — tech parks, luxury apartments, rain-washed flyovers,
abandoned mills, glass towers.
शहर
में
लोग
ग़ायब
हो
रहे
हैं।
कोई
body नहीं।
कोई
struggle marks नहीं।
बस
एक
pattern।
हर
victim को
शाम
5:59 PM पर
एक
message मिलता
है:
“I saw you.”
और
उसके
बाद
वो
vanish.
Police initially इसे random missing case मानती है।
Media इसे
urban myth बना
देती
है।
लेकिन
investigative journalist Rhea Sinha notice करती है
—
हर
victim emotionally vulnerable था।
Lonely. Recently heartbroken. Recently fired. Recently isolated.
Data analyst Kabir Malhotra
accidentally realize करता
है
कि
यह
coincidence नहीं।
Years ago उसने
एक
emotional prediction algorithm बनाया था
—
जो
लोगों
के
behavior, typing speed, pause pattern, GPS movement से loneliness predict करता था.
वो
beta project कभी
officially launch नहीं
हुआ।
लेकिन
कोई
उसे
use कर
रहा
है.
और
सिर्फ
predict नहीं
— manipulate कर
रहा
है.
यह
कहानी
है
data, loneliness और
control की।
क्या
इंसान
को
optimize किया
जा
सकता
है?
या
loneliness ही
हमें
human बनाती
है?

अब
multiple users उस
code को
modify कर
रहे
हैं।

लोग
इसे
dating optimization के
लिए
use कर

SEASON
2 ENDING THEORY
Villain अब व्यक्ति नहीं।
Villain feedback loop है।
जब
system हमें
पढ़ता
है,
हम
system को
feed करते
हैं।
और
दोनों
evolve करते
हैं।
Season 3 possibility:
Algorithm migrates into wearable devices and bio-data.
अब
prediction नहीं
— pre-emotion stimulation.
सवाल
ये
नहीं
कि
technology हमें
देख
रही
है।
सवाल
ये
है
कि
क्या
हम
खुद
को
देख
रहे
हैं?
Thriller वहीं जन्म लेता
है
जहाँ
awareness कम
हो
और
control invisible हो।
