It’s 2445, humans now live in a dream state of a perfect world, engineered perfectly where statistics and data control the outcome of the day. After the earth was completely destroyed by the last human race, the new generation escaped to a new dimension where peace and harmony were accomplished.
Haven is the world where you create your perfect life, no one interferes with what you want. Your life is programmed for the best possible outcome. People are no longer in power, perfection has been achieved through artificial intelligence. Pods are provided for each human where they can choose to live outside their pods but life outside the pod is suicide with the unknown forces of the dimension.
Leah has lived 33 perfect years in Haven until she notices a glitch in her ‘reality’. The glitches become more and more frequent. Leah spends days outside the pod trying to fix it with no success and decides to venture out into the dimension where she finds two others who have been forced out of their ‘reality’ just like her. The three must find a solution while facing the deceiving manipulations of the dimension.
