Electric Chapel

In a near-future society obsessed with manufactured happiness, a young woman struggling with severe depression discovers a clandestine underground movement that offers a dangerous, but potentially liberating, alternative. As she delves deeper into their rituals, she uncovers a conspiracy that blurs the line between genuine emotion and artificial euphoria, forcing her to confront the true cost of escaping her own mind.
