A bored coder's random 3 a.m. tweet about a stranger who keeps appearing in his dreams ignites a global frenzy that forces him to confront the fact his entire life has been scripted for an audience he can never see.
Synopsis
When 29-year-old Derek Lang posts a throwaway tweet describing a recurring stranger in his dreams, the message detonates overnight, racking up 40 million views by breakfast. Strangers on the street quote his words back to him; late-night hosts reenact the dream; conspiracy accounts claim the stranger is a government plant. As Derek’s followers grow obsessed with solving the mystery, he begins noticing the stranger everywhere in waking life—until the man finally speaks and reveals Derek is the only real person in a 24/7 broadcast that began the day he was born. With the world now watching his every breakdown in real time, Derek must decide whether to keep performing or burn the entire construct down.

Cold open
INT. DEREK'S TINY APARTMENT - 3:17 A.M. The only light is the laptop glow on Derek's face. He types, deletes, types again. DEREK (whispering to himself) "Guy in my dream again. Same coat. Same bench. This time he waved." He hits tweet. The screen refreshes. 1 like. He closes the laptop, rolls over. EXT. SAME APARTMENT - DAWN A crowd has already formed. Phones raised. Someone holds a handmade sign: "HE WAVED AT ME TOO." Derek opens the blinds. The roar hits like a wave. His phone explodes with notifications. One message floats to the top from an unknown number: UNKNOWN He's been waiting for you to notice. Derek looks out again. In the crowd stands THE STRANGER in the exact coat from the dream, smiling up at the window.
