— Generated idea

Manufacturing Defect

In a world where courts sometimes deliver their verdicts backwards — convicting innocent people because of simple administrative bugs that were never fixed — Gabriel Moreau is serving time for a crime he didn’t commit, trapped inside a detention center where doors unlock at the wrong moments and meals arrive twice on Tuesdays. That’s where he meets Sofia, the court-appointed lawyer who also happens to represent the man truly responsible for his crime, and between them sparks something forbidden, electric, and perfectly misplaced — a desire that makes no sense in a system already starved of logic. The more he kisses her in secret through the malfunctioning corridors of this slightly broken world, the more he realizes that the only way to prove his innocence is to risk everything, including this stolen moment that should never have existed.
