As Earth suffocates under record heat, a global balloon project promises salvation. But behind the science lies a ruthless race for power — and a solution that may cost more than it saves.

SYNOPSIS:

In the near future, Earth is suffocating under an irreversible climate crisis. As deadly heat and water shortages turn cities into war zones, a desperate world embraces radical geoengineering.

AtlasTech, a U.S. tech giant, launches “StratoX” — a balloon project that promises to reflect sunlight and cool the planet. But its CEO, Ethan Cole, views the crisis not as tragedy, but as profit.

Antoine, a grieving father who lost his wife to a thawed ancient virus, watches society collapse while trying to protect his daughter, Zoe — a passionate climate protester. Inside AtlasTech, scientist Elara Voss risks her life leaking classified data as the project spirals out of ethical control.

As StratoX gains global support, and Cole becomes a messianic figure, unseen dangers multiply. Climate systems react unpredictably. Protests turn violent. And the virus returns — mutated, unstoppable.

BLACKOUT PROTOCOL is a dystopian climate thriller about power, silence, and survival — asking: in an age of crisis, who controls the solution?
