Ray wakes in a world frozen in time. Busy city streets, the people he saw every day, even the birds in the air — all are locked in place. The sun never sets, and he is the only one who can move.
At first he roams the silent streets in confusion and despair, haunted by memories of his past and the people he lost. Loneliness presses harder each day, and every buried regret rises to the surface as he struggles to hold on to his sanity in the endless stillness.
When Ray is close to giving in to the emptiness, he discovers he is not alone. A mysterious young woman named Hope appears — another person somehow awake in the silent world. Together they form a fragile bond.
Whispers speak of something called Emotion Drive. Could it be the key to starting time again, or is it the very thing holding them in this artificial reality? Ray and Hope are up against an enemy they cannot see — the shadows inside themselves.
The world may be frozen, but emotions are not. Their only way out is to face what they fear most.
Emotion Drive is a tense and human mix of psychological drama and science fiction. It asks how far someone will go to escape grief, and shows the power of connection to pull us back. Will Ray break the silence and take back his life, or will his past hold him in place forever?
