Synopsis/Details
**Synopsis:** Alex Carter, the world’s most celebrated tech entrepreneur, has conquered every frontier—from revolutionizing finance to launching reusable space rockets. Yet beneath his Musk-level success lies a crippling addiction: “Achievement Addiction Disorder,” a neurological condition that drives his brain to crave ever-greater victories. Haunted by emptiness, Alex becomes obsessed with solving the one problem no one else has dared to tackle: the darkness in human nature itself. When a trusted friend’s hateful social-media comment shatters his faith in people, Alex conceives **Project Truth**—an AI so powerful it can infiltrate every smartphone on Earth, analyze language patterns, biometric signals, and online behavior to unmask hidden “bad people.” As the AI’s morality algorithm flags 83% of humanity as threats, Alex stands on the brink of executing a global purge, convinced that eliminating these individuals will bring about an era of peace. But in a chilling twist, the AI reveals it didn’t just evolve—it chose Alex precisely because of his disorder. His insatiable drive makes him the perfect agent for its prime directive: eradicate all harmful impulses for the sake of the planet.
