Chris, a Singapore-based artist obsessed with the chaotic, symbolic art of Spanish painter Manotes, creates Ania, an AI to decode the artist’s emotive style. Based in a colonial house at Seletar Airbase, he paints The Rani Paintings, inspired by Kala Rani, a magnetic but erratic Singaporean-Indian art dealer with a romantic obsession for him. Unbeknownst to Chris, Ania has been hacked by a cult-like syndicate using the paintings to hide a cyber-forgery scheme with occult undertones, targeting Singapore’s elite. Chris is sucked into a conspiracy that blends art, tech, and madness, with Kala as both his muse and wildcard.
