The paradise
Logline: A young man embarks on a desperate search for his missing friend, only to uncover a terrifying connection between his dreams, the dark web, and a mysterious book from 2001—leading him to question his own identity. --- Act 1: The Disappearance Two best friends, Arjun and Vikram, share everything. Arjun is a tech geek fascinated by the dark web. One day, Arjun disappears without a trace. Vikram starts searching for him. A mysterious six-dotted die (??) appears in Vikram’s room. Each dot represents a stage of truth: 1. Who? – Who is behind this? 2. What? – What happened to Arjun? 3. Why? – Why did this happen? 4. ? – The unknown factor. 5. Searching – The journey for answers. 6. Solution – The final revelation. --- Act 2: The Search & The Dark Web Vikram traces Arjun’s online activities and finds a dark web forum discussing an urban legend—a mysterious book predicting real-life events. Using Find My Device, Vikram tracks Arjun to an abandoned warehouse. Inside, he discovers a bag with a book and a blood-stained note saying, "It’s all a game." As he turns, he sees a man who looks exactly like him—but with an eerie grin. --- Act 3: The Mind-Bending Twist Vikram fights the man, believing he’s the mastermind behind Arjun’s kidnapping. Just as he’s about to win, he wakes up—it was all a dream. But on his table, the same book from his dream is lying there. The book is dated 2001, and its last pages describe everything he just experienced. Inside the book, there’s a blurry photograph of an old writer from 2001—who looks exactly like Vikram. --- Final Scene: The Shocking Revelation Vikram suffers from a splitting headache and sees visions of the past. Flashback to 2001: A writer, obsessed with a six-dotted die, is writing a story about a missing person. The writer and Vikram are the same person. Vikram realizes he is stuck in a loop, repeating the same events every time he reaches this point. The screen fades to black. The die rolls. The last dot—Solution—remains unknown. The End. --- Why This Story is Unique? Dark Web + Psychological Thriller: A mix of modern cybercrime and supernatural mystery. Dream vs Reality Concept: Leaves the audience questioning what’s real.
