Synopsis
In a near-future where humanity has fractured into “special humans” with elemental DNA and those who fear them, Rout City is the world’s landfill – a neon-soaked purgatory for the exiled. Captain Lee Shun, once the golden boy of Central Special Unit (CSU), has spent a decade rotting in its shadows, haunted by a tactical failure that broke his unit and his spirit.
His penance is interrupted when his former Commander appears with a terrifying truth: a dormant, bio-digital extinction event is about to unfold. A ‘Payload’ in transit has been compromised and if activated, it won’t be just kill – their kind will be ‘unwritten’ permanently.
Lee must crawl out of the gutter and reunite The Sentinels, a team that hates him, to pull off a suicide heist in the conflicting city that would rather them be dead. This is no longer about orders; but whether a broken man can lead a broken team to rescue a world that has already moved on.
Technologies
Payload will be utilizing Unreal Engine virtual production (LED Volume) to reduce costs by an estimated 30-40% with AI-assisted pipeline for faster turnaround and lowered revision costs. AI-Assisted world building technique and performance capture within modern engines, will assist to streamline production while maintaining a high-octane, visually exciting world for the characters.
