THE SPACE BETWEEN US
Architect Maya Chen has spent her life designing structures to withstand any storm, but after a professional catastrophe shatters her career, she retreats into a fortress of her own making. Desperate for a fresh start, she enters "Project Proximity," a high-tech social experiment led by the enigmatic Dr. Aris Thorne, designed to scientifically engineer human connection through surveillance and biometric data.
Liam O’Connell is a photographer who captures the truth of others while living a lie. Drowning in debt and grief after the death of his sister, he joins the project not for love, but for the payout that could save him.
Trapped in a glass-walled apartment, monitored by cameras and manipulated by algorithms, Maya and Liam are forced into an artificial intimacy. But as they navigate manufactured conflicts and staged vulnerabilities, something unexpected happens. In the unmonitored moments—a shared silence, a hand held in the dark, a sketch drawn on a napkin—they discover a resonance that the sensors cannot track.
When they uncover the sinister truth behind Thorne’s data—that their trauma is being weaponized for profit—Maya and Liam must make a choice. They can remain prisoners of the experiment, or they can break the unwritten rules, expose the lie, and step into the messy, unquantifiable world to build something real.
From the sterile confines of a lab to the gritty, hopeful rebirth of a community pier, The Space Between Us is a profound journey of healing, resistance, and the architecture of love. It is a story about finding the courage to stand in the light, unmeasured and unafraid.
