Stan and Charmaine are broke, living in their car during an economic collapse. When they're offered a spot in the Positron Project—an experimental community where residents alternate between comfortable suburban living and prison shifts—it seems like their salvation. But the system's perfection conceals a labyrinth of control, sexual manipulation, and underground resistance. As they're drawn into a web of corporate experiments and personal betrayal, Stan and Charmaine must decide how much of their freedom they're willing to trade for security. Their marriage becomes a battleground of shifting loyalties and increasingly bizarre choices.
