Subconscious Reality

all is not right in utopiA

Trailer Apocalyptic SciFi IMDB Page Stream: Fearflix

In the Corporate Republic of utopiA, the Board of a group of conglomerates rules with an iron fist, dictating profit above all else. Gradually their paranoia extends to destroy all of society, eliminating the citizens and leaving only the Board conglomerates, and the “forces” (control, policy, and armed) who protect the Board. When suspicions arise of a new underground of ex-agents and a mole within the Board’s structure, a new battle is begun. Earlier, during the war when the Board seized power, many agents were implanted with a chip for mind control and recording events. The Board now suspects the mole comes from one of the remaining 8 agents with implanted chips.

Rather than eliminate them directly, the Board decides to pit them against each other through a series of bogus missions. These missions put Agent Agitate (Jim Toepper, The Essentials) and Ambassador Barre (Mark Byrne, Small Fish Small Pond) from Control, Agent Adhere (Donna Byrne, Out There) from Policy, and a Colonel (Paul Horning, Forbidden Room) from Armed Forces in line to question potential “witnesses” including Implicit (Lana Wood, Diamonds are Forever) and The Seer (Conrad Brooks, Taste of Desperation). The Board figures blurred lines and divided loyalties eventually unearth the spy; and even if not, the 8 with the chip are still eliminated, believing that alone will quell rebellion. But misreading the people’s unending quest for freedom may prove the Board’s greatest flaw.
