SYNOPSIS:

Available as a pilot, 10-part series with franchise potential, or a self-contained movie. The Echo of Us is set in a parallel dystopian UK/USA/Scandinavia, after a viral pandemic left society unstable. In an attempt to control the population, a shadowy tech consortium uses AI and Enforcers to police relationships. A neurovarianced analyst, Rowan Hale, spots an anomaly that brings her to an Enforcer-turned-tech-engineer, Malachi Feldman - and their bond is instant. Immediately logged by the AI, Obsidia, as a threat, their bond triggers constant surveillance. Caught in an obsessional but reciprocal limerance, they struggle to stay apart, and their unique bond triggers an entity within Obsidia that codes them into the system. When Rowan realises that Malachi is set for ‘Quarantine’ (a form of electrical lobotomy), while she faces erasure, Rowan tries to distract the state by going to the Vault - a state-appointed sex club. However, when this doesn’t work, they are left fighting a system that wants to liquidize the threat. Along the way, they have to learn which colleagues to trust: are Arden and Lex all that they seem? Will the state leader, Dr Kerr, be able to stop the biggest threat to society he has faced since the Smythe Incident? And is the AI at the heart of the system able to be controlled?
