Synopsis
Simon Taylor, the architect of “Unity Bonds,” proposes a radical idea to monetise social dysfunctions—turning societal burdens into investment opportunities. The stakes are high as Karen McLean and Mick Thacker from Competitive Confinement Ltd. navigate the ethical murkiness of monetizing human suffering for profit.
Meanwhile, ordinary citizens like Joan and Ryan confront the brutal consequences of these policies. Joan, an elderly woman, battles against the injustice of a society that treats her as a mere economic unit, while Ryan, a young man, is manipulated by a ruthless corporate system. As the narrative progresses, Lucinda from Delightful Chocolate and other characters reveal the stark divides and moral compromises that underpin a world driven by profit over people.
