In present-day San Francisco, overworked software engineer Mia Reyes secretly develops SynthDream—an open-source AI companion for lucid dreaming—to combat loneliness. When her corporate employer attempts to seize and monetize the project, trapping her in a controlled nightmare to force compliance, Mia fights back by releasing the code publicly. With help from hacker allies, her best friend Lena, and her evolving AI companion Jax, she battles legal threats and corporate sabotage in court. Ultimately victorious, Mia preserves the raw, chaotic magic of human dreaming, turning a personal rebellion into a global movement for accessible, unfiltered dream technology. A heartfelt tale of creativity, friendship, and resistance in the age of AI.
