1) A young man, Crow and his beautiful girlfriend, Robin, are sitting peacefully under a tree during a hot summer day in the park. They are enjoying each other’s company and cuddling; they are lovers. Enter scene with them randomly talking. Robin nonchalantly asks Crow if he’s heard about the mysterious abductions in San Francisco recently. Apparently, the population is becoming more scared that they will be abducted next, and people are beginning to act paranoid and crazy.
2) Robin gets up and walks towards a nearby water fountain. Before she reaches the fountain she is taken against her will (struggles to escape) by two men in dark suits and thrown into a nearby van. The van takes off almost immediately afterwards.
3) Crow jolts and runs through the city after them, screaming and yelling for them to stop, trying to catch up to his girlfriend. He eventually loses the van and kneels down, panting and tired. He cries out in despair.
4) Crow returns back to his and Robin’s apartment. Bent on finding his girlfriend before something happens to her, he uses his superior skills in technology to hack and infiltrate the city’s numerous security cameras. Using the recordings, he is able to pinpoint an area that he assumes the headquarters of the kidnappers. He rushes off.
5) Crow is seen getting off a bus, nearby what seems to be a dark abandoned building. Crow secretly infiltrates the headquarters and makes his way into the central room, where he finds his beloved Robin. However something is amiss, Robin isn’t in danger, and she is leading the organization of abductors. Crow is shocked and speechless, eventually demanding she explain what’s going on. Robin reveals that people themselves ask to be kidnapped in order to escape the government (which has been recently turning more Totalitarianism) and fake their own death to leave their old identity behind and start up a new life elsewhere. Robin is sorry for not telling Crow the truth and explains she had to fake her kidnapping to get the police off of her trail. Crow takes it all in, then bursts out that this is ludicrous. He says that these abductions have been affecting the population very negatively and that the families of the disappeared are probably worried. He takes off without letting Robin say another word; Robin lets him leave without causality.
6) Crow is walking on the street, talking to himself. He is thinking of turning in Robin and her secret group to the police/government. Crow thinks that it isn’t right for a few people (minority) to escape life and get what they want, when it will affect everyone else (majority) and make them fearful of abductions they think lead to murder.
7) He’s near the local police station now, about to enter, when he sees something. Three police men are beating up a woman wearing a business suit. He overhears the policemen saying something along the lines of “We warned you once already! No one can leave this state, the government forbids it! This is your punishment, and if you try something like this again, you’ll get worse!” Crow stops, and realizes what’s happening to his beloved state. The government situation is truly becoming a problem, overpowered by greed and corruption. He realizes that not only a select few need to escape this now becoming hell hole, but that everyone would benefit from leaving if they knew how. He runs back towards the abandoned building.
8) Crow rushes in and interrupts Robin, mid in conversation with a man. Crow tells her he would love to help their organization, that he realizes that the state has become evil and that people need help leaving/escaping. Crow explains that Robin has been right. If the people can escape, then the government has no one to govern over, and that’s how they will be stopped! Robin nods in agreement.
9) Garbed in black, Robin, Crow, and two others leave the building. You see them walking off into the distance. Screen fades-enter credit scene.
