Spoilers ahead
As a young girl, Jenny witnessed her father’s horrific murder, an event that haunted her deeply throughout her life. This traumatic episode foreshadowed a broader crisis in American society, where the once-flourishing nation now teetered on the brink of collapse. The educational system was unraveling, leading to devastating consequences: a generation of overweight children burdened with below-average IQs, resulting in a stifling of innovation and economic stagnation.
Years later, Jenny, now an adult, struggled to support herself while caring for her terminally ill mother. To cover the soaring medical expenses, she begrudgingly accepted a position as a chaperone for gifted children at the elite Posterity Project. This prestigious program aimed to cultivate genius by granting access to advanced technology and virtual reality learning environments.
