File Zero

Episode 1

4min

It is the year 23 of the New Era. The Elder controls the population through his strong dictatorship (his system of authority and surveillance is known as The System). He has encrypted the historical files and thus erased human history for the citizens. A group of brave hackers is determined to fight against the Elder's System. They are decrypting the forbidden file in order to search for the key to File Zero; which is somehow linked to year zero of the old era. Unlocking File Zero is the key to help them restore their history and recover a sense of meaning and purpose.

Episode 2

We learn how two bands of hackers, the Seekers and the Moles, must cooperate to rescue Ghora, a Seeker. Using technology that survived the Dark War, the hackers sent Ghora inside the file (as a virtual representation of her mind) to find the access code for File Zero, but she was trapped in the file when a security sweep from the System located her signal. The Seekers need the help of the Moles to bring back Ghora's mind before her body gives out or she is killed by The System's assassins, The Lookers.

They follow the Good Man to a house to learn why he acts as he does.
