The Shape Of Absence

The Shape of Absence offers a subtle but chilling sci-fi thriller where the life
of an individual begins to feel like it is under observation. Owen Cooper lives
a comfortably normal life. He has lectures, late nights and regular routines,
in a predictable world. But then, things take a turn. Small things begin to
feel odd in a way that he cannot quite put his finger on. Things happen too
soon. Answers are given before questions are asked. Coincidence begins to
seem like design. Curiosity gives way to concern. The choices he makes become
important before he even realizes that he has made them. As Owen draws
closer to something unknown, he must come to terms with the possibility that
his future was mapped out a long time ago, before he even realized that the
walls were closing in on him. Luna helps him keep his feet on the ground. She
adds warmth and laughter to his life, which now feels like it is being carefully
controlled. Because of her, Owen finds comfort but also the motivation to dig
deeper. Not all influences make their presence known. They simply wait until
you stop resisting.
