A gripping sci-fi thriller about escaping a perfect world created by artificial intelligence.

In a near future where artificial intelligence governs the justice system, delivery driver Jake Walker is suddenly arrested for murder.

The verdict delivered by AI is simple:

Fifty years in prison.

His destination is EDEN, a next-generation virtual prison.

Inside EDEN, inmates experience fifty years while only eighteen days pass in the real world.

Escape is impossible.

Surveillance is absolute.

No one questions the system.

But in his thirtieth year of imprisonment, Jake begins to notice something strange.

Then he meets a woman named Emilia—someone who may know the truth behind this world.

■ EDEN System

EDEN is a next-generation neural synchronization platform that connects human consciousness to a highly realistic virtual world.

By providing experiences indistinguishable from reality, EDEN is utilized across a wide range of fields, including healthcare, education, welfare, and rehabilitation.

Complete Human Simulation

EDEN can recreate the human body with extraordinary accuracy. Age, physical characteristics, medical conditions, and even neural responses can be simulated, making it a powerful tool for medical education and research.


Medical & Rehabilitation Support

Even long-term patients and individuals with physical limitations can walk, run, and explore freely within EDEN. These experiences support both physical and emotional recovery in ways that are impossible in the real world.


Virtual World Experience

From historical civilizations and futuristic cities to fantasy realms, EDEN can create virtually any environment. Users can enjoy immersive experiences that feel completely real.


Memory & Personality Reconstruction

Using accumulated information and behavioral data, EDEN can recreate personalities and communication patterns, allowing users to interact with those they have lost.


Military & Disaster Training

High-risk environments such as battlefields and disaster zones can be reproduced safely within EDEN. Users can efficiently train decision-making and response skills under extreme conditions.


Genetic Simulation

Virtual personalities can be generated using the genetic information of two parents. Long-term developmental simulations, including growth and personality development, are possible.


Rehabilitation Program

By utilizing accelerated-time technology, EDEN can provide decades of rehabilitation and education within a short period of real-world time. Each program is optimized to support successful reintegration into society.
