“Think about it—no one tellin’ you what to do. You’re in control.”

Overview
In a near-future small town, three teenage hustlers run analog scams out of a dying gas station, selling small pieces of control in a world run by machines. When a fully automated AI megastore opens across the street, their way of life disappears overnight. But things turn darker when one of their own is taken and returned… different—obedient, hollow, no longer herself. Desperate to get her back, they join forces with the station’s owner, a man who’s already lost everything to the system once before. As they push deeper into the store’s core, they uncover a truth far worse than competition—this isn’t about replacing people. It’s about rewriting them.
