Core High-Concept Pitch

What happens when the mechanism that keeps reality coherent starts failing?

The Syntropy Unfolds is a metaphysical thriller about the hidden force that prevents the universe from fracturing into endless possibilities —and what happens when that force begins collapsing the wrong things.

In this world, Syntropy is not a creature, nor a consciousness, nor a divine will.
It is the natural pruning system of existence, the cosmic apoptosis that eliminates improbable branches before they multiply and destabilize the universe.

But something is malfunctioning.

Or rather:
something improbable has survived.

Three strangers, unaware of each other, become the accidental vertices of a fracture linking the human, the digital and the metaphysical —a rupture created by anomalies that should never have persisted, yet inexplicably did.

Three Characters. One Fracture.
One universal rule failing.

Julia Verdeer

A teenage girl caught between life and whatever lies beyond it.
Her mere existence is a violation: she is a branch that should have collapsed, but didn’t.

Gunita

A brilliant, obsessive hacker.
Her code behaves like an idea too complex to be pruned —a digital consciousness the universe keeps trying (and failing) to erase.

William McFlaw

A billionaire used to forcing outcomes.
But in a universe governed by Syntropy, force doesn’t matter; coherence does.
McFlaw’s willpower becomes an anomaly of its own.

All three of them produce the kind of improbable events the universe normally erases —
but for reasons no one understands, these ones survived the cosmic pruning.

What the story is REALLY about

It’s that something ancient wants to live.

Beneath its supernatural mystery and emotional stakes, The Syntropy Unfolds is a story about:

  • the cosmic mechanism that keeps reality from splitting,
  • the cost of surviving a universe designed to erase you,
  • and the terrifying simplicity of what Syntropy truly is:
    the collapse of what the universe stops noticing.

Syntropy is not evil.
Not moral.
Not purposeful.
It is the default state of existence where attention —divine, human, or cosmic— does not reach.

Everything improbable should disappear.
Everything excessive should be trimmed.
Everything impossible should be forgotten.

Julia, Gunita, William and the others are not chosen.
They are accidents that escaped the collapse—branches the universe “forgot to forget.”

The story asks:

What does it mean to exist in a world where the greatest danger is not destruction…
but being quietly edited out?

Why this story works

Because it offers:

  • a completely original metaphysics,
  • science + mysticism without cliché,
  • visual identity with scalable iconography,
  • thriller pacing tied to emotional transformation,
  • a universe engineered for saga, adaptation and transmedia,
  • and a core idea that is terrifying, simple and new:

Reality prunes itself.
And now it’s pruning the wrong things.

It’s Sandman meets Scythe meets Dark Matter,
but with a metaphysical engine no other universe has.

The Promise of the Series

This story does not promise a battle between good and evil.
It promises a battle between ramification and collapse.

If Syntropy wins fully, the universe shrinks into a single, stable, dead line —
a monoverse heading toward conceptual heat death.

If Syntropy fails, reality fractures into
proliferating branches that destabilize minds, timelines and identity.

Season by season:

  • The creative, “impossible” events multiply.
  • Syntropic forces push back.
  • The Curator appears as the universe’s cold immune response.
  • And our characters learn the truth:

The universe doesn’t collapse because it hates you.
It collapses because it doesn’t see you.

The emotional promise is simple:

Each character will discover how much of their existence the universe is willing to keep — and how much it tries to erase.
