Eternal Family

Synopsis

Eternal Family is a globally famous reality show featuring five social misfits living together with a professional actor. The participants—including individuals with odd behaviors, questionable pasts, or those who were abandoned as children—were given false memories to make them believe they are a real family. Despite these altered memories, the traits that caused them to be outcasts from society remain, leading to intense conflict in their shared life. After an incident causes the facility holding them to break down, the group escapes into the outside world. Now that they have experienced life beyond captivity, returning to their previous situations may no longer be possible.
