Synopsis:

In a neon-drenched future where music and technology intertwine, the art of Phantom Live has captivated audiences. Skilled rappers harness Phantometal – a substance linked to their DNA – to project vivid illusions during performances. However, this power comes at a cost; Phantometal triggers intense emotional flashbacks known as Trap Reactions, potentially destabilizing even the most seasoned performers.

A decade after vanishing, the enigmatic music collective CLUB Paradox resurfaces with Paradox Live, a high-stakes competition offering a substantial financial reward. Four established groups – BAE, The Cat's Whiskers, cozmez, and Akanyatsura – are compelled to participate. Driven by individual motivations, they navigate a competitive environment where artistic expression is inextricably linked to personal trauma and the blurred lines between performance and reality. The series explores themes of emotional vulnerability, artistic ambition, and the price of fame within a technologically advanced society.
