“Sleep has never been so dangerous.”
LOGLINE
A neurodivergent artist discovers a secret network that reprograms the minds of those who don’t conform. To protect her identity and others like her, she must learn to master her own dreams—before they erase her completely.
SYNOPSIS
In a near future where sleep has become the latest technological frontier, Luna Monteiro—a young neurodivergent artist—realizes her dreams are being manipulated by a secret network aiming to “correct” divergent personalities through dream engineering. As she fights to protect other at-risk youths, Luna must confront her deepest traumas and fight to distinguish reality from illusion.
Insones is a psychological sci-fi thriller set in a near-future dystopia, where a neurodivergent woman discovers that her dreams are being controlled by a covert system of mental reprogramming. To protect other “misfits” like her, Luna becomes a hacker of her own subconscious—navigating the thin line between identity, social control, and unconscious freedom.
With strong emotional and visual appeal, Insones blends the imaginative world-building of Inception with the social critique of Black Mirror, tackling themes such as neurodivergence, exclusion, and subjective resistance in a world where even sleep has been colonized.
