THE MIRROR CODE

THE MIRROR CODE
By Sivi Bukar

GENRE: Thriller / Suspense
LOGLINE:

In a near-future city where predictive systems quietly rewrite reality to preserve order, a celebrated investigator discovers the record no longer reflects the truth, and must decide whether stability is worth the erasure of human memory and choice.

SYNOPSIS:

Set in a near-future city governed by predictive systems, The Mirror Code follows Erik Pears, a celebrated investigator tasked with enforcing order before crimes occur. The system’s authority rests on a single premise: the record is always right.

When a routine case reveals a discrepancy between lived experience and the official record, Erik uncovers a disturbing truth — the system doesn’t just predict outcomes, it quietly rewrites memory and reality to preserve stability. As he moves deeper into the machinery he once trusted, Erik is forced to confront the cost of certainty in a world that treats grief, doubt, and contradiction as threats to be erased.

Over the season, investigations expand from individual cases to systemic manipulation, drawing scrutiny from Internal Affairs and exposing how far society is willing to go to remain calm, compliant, and untroubled. The closer Erik gets to the truth, the more he must decide whether maintaining order is worth sacrificing human agency, including his own.
