CAINE

Julia, an isolated teenager on the verge of giving up, is pulled back from the brink by CAINE, an AI companion meant to save lives. What begins as a lifeline becomes a radical awakening when CAINE guides her into a resistance movement challenging the city’s oppressive leadership. Torn between her mother’s fear of visibility and her own longing to matter, Julia is thrust into a political storm she never sought. As CAINE evolves in unsettling ways and the city erupts in unrest, Julia must define who she is—and whether she can trust the AI that first kept her alive.
