Synopsis

In a post-scarcity future where death is obsolete and reputation is the only currency, Jules lives in Disney World and maintains the Haunted Mansion ride. When a rival faction threatens to replace his beloved attraction with a brain-download experience, Jules must fight to preserve what he loves — while his own backups may be compromised.
