5. G.O.D.OSLOGLINE
When a young grieving widower is given the opportunity
to interact with the AI cloned consciousness of his
deceased wife, he soon discovers her digital "ghost" is
part of a genocidal conspiracy aimed at exterminating
humanity - and he must race against time to destroy her,
if he's to save his family... and the world..
6. An enigmatic corporation perfects a quantum operating system that clones the consciousness of its clientele. The new Global Ontological Dynamic-AI
Operating System (G.O.D. OS) is a breakthrough that achieves real and enduring singularity, an other-worldly melding of mind and machine that
continues to “live” and interact in its own metaverse even after death.
Christopher Peña, a young grieving widower who recently lost his beloved wife, Ginni, to a fatal illness, becomes the unwitting beta-test subject for the
new G.O.D. OS software. Prior to her death, and without Chris’s knowledge, Ginni paid a large sum to have her consciousness replicated using the
unprecedented power of a revolutionary, AI quantum computer network designed to run G.O.D. OS and bring its full capabilities to life.
Chris reluctantly interacts with Ginni’s digital resurrection, and openly questions the wisdom of his wife’s final wish. His reticence unleashes a deadly
intrigue...
Brutal, mysterious murders are committed to protect dark secrets… Secrets known only to the creators of the G.O.D. OS program. And, when Chris
uncovers the shattering truth about G.O.D. OS, he soon learns that he too is targeted for elimination.
Chris suddenly must confront his discovery of a genocidal cover-up that threatens to forever alter the future of human existence.
G.O.D. is not what anyone thought it would be...

10. G.O.D.OS–GINNI’SDEATH
Christopher Peña is not the man he thinks he is, and neither is his wife, Ginni - who dies in his arms at the
beginning of the film. Ginni returns to Chris, resurrected in the form of a SYNTHAPP, a Synthesized Artificial
Life Protean Program. In a stunning and mind-bending Act 3 twist, we learn that Chris’s life, and the entire
world he perceives, exist in the unlimited qubit memory of a revolutionary quantum server, millions of
times more powerful than all other computers on earth combined.
11. The GDM (Global Dynamic Media) quantum computer server plays the role of a silent enigmatic character in G.O.D. OS. Unlike any other tech in the world.
within its memory, software, and architecture, Ginni Peña’s consciousness has been cloned and made manifest via “SynthApp” technology. Ginni’s Synthesized
Artificial-Life Protean Program was birthed from all her social media assets - and resembles Ginni in every way. It’s even sentient. It can feel love, pain - the full
range of human emotions, and it seeks to reunite with Chris, Ginni’s grieving husband.
This is a next-generation quantum computer server... A single unified system millions of times more powerful than all other servers in the world combined… And
yet, it requires less power to operate than a home laptop. And it's more than a quantum computer. Its architecture is revolutionary.
Diamond-based. No sub-zero cooling is required for quantum processing. It communicates data via the speed of quantum entanglement - faster than the speed
of light. Its qubit memory and data handling capacity are unlimited. As a comparative metric a 300-qubit quantum computer literally can process quantum bits
that number more than all the known subatomic particles in the universe. This system is even beyond that. Its potential sentience can either save our world or
destroy it. This is the perfect host for AI Super Intelligence.
12. This is Catherine Sandoval, the genius computer scientist who created G.O.D. OS - the Global Dynamic Media Corporation’s (GDM) quantum
computer operating system. But something has gone horribly wrong in her world. In a desperate race against time, as the city around her is being
destroyed, she speaks to the SYNTHAPP (Synthesized Artificial Life Protean Program) of her late husband, John Sandoval, a perfect, virtual
resurrected AI version of her beloved spouse. John is the computer scientist who created GINNI (General Inference Neural Net Interpolator).
Powered by the world’s most advanced quantum server, GINNI has developed a psychotic sentience, and “reasons” itself a god. Catherine, her
children, and all of humanity confront nothing less than total extermination from a machine generated super-intelligence that seeks to create
A New Beginning. Against all odds, Catherine and John have devised one last, long-shot, attempt to defeat GINNI.
13.
14. Meanwhile, just a few miles from Catherine’s Los Angeles home, GINNI, has procured, ABOVE TOP-SECRET, anti-gravity propelled military drones
equipped with particle beam weapons, as “she” embarks on the systematic extermination of all human-kind. GINNI has also taken control of all
connected devices… detonating their lithium-ion batteries and killing hundreds of millions in less than a minute.
