A present day dystopian horror

Warning: Spoilers
Set in a present day dystopia. 3 Gen X guys awaken to the grim reality that they are living in a dystopian society. Surrounded by a populace that have been transformed into malicious and vindictive adherents of an oppressive ideology, the trio find themselves compelled to adhere to a specific set of moral standards or risk having their lives destroyed.

The lifelong friends, who happen to work together, are sacked over a 'morality violation'. The accusation stems from covert recordings taken inside their private vehicles and homes, exposing them to the scrutiny of their unforgiving environment.

Among the protagonists is a father with a child attending primary school. The child's teacher, an influential figure with a malevolent streak, exploits her position to manipulate the parents' conduct. Compliance with her idiosyncratic moral code becomes a prerequisite for safeguarding the child's future. Other parents, also authoritarian members of the cult, join in forcing a humiliation ritual on the uninitiated father.

Will the trio manage to break free from the clutches of this dystopian nightmare? Will they yield to the manipulative grasp of the authoritarian cult, or will they take a stand, working towards liberating its members and restoring society to a realm of genuine freedom? These questions lie at the heart of their journey, leaving audiences in suspense as they anticipate the outcome.
