The Peripheral

In a small Appalachian town where life is somewhat monotonous and repetitive, a young woman finds solace in the world of advanced video games. She possesses a unique talent for gaming which has earned her recognition from a company that sends her their latest console to test out. This isn't just any ordinary game system though; it comes with an unexpected twist. As she navigates through the game, it begins to unlock elements of her dreams - introducing purpose, romance, and glamour in ways that blur the line between reality and virtual worlds. However, this newfound excitement carries a sinister side effect: it also endangers not only her life but that of her family as well. The movie explores themes of escape, identity, and the consequences of chasing dreams at any cost.
