What did Iris see? Was it an accurate vision of the future or merely a drug-induced hallucination?

Iris, a twenty-year-old genius, stumbles into the ER after participating in an Ayahuasca ceremony, claiming to have traveled to the future. Dr. Kairos—the hospital psychiatrist on call that day—surreptitiously hits record on his iPhone as she begins recounting her time-travel tale.

Iris’s vivid descriptions of Earth circa 2300, its bizarre inhabitants, and her harrowing escape are far more detailed and imaginative than any delusional story Dr. Kairos has ever encountered. By the end of the interview, he believes he’s captured one of the most important delusional accounts ever told. But little does he know, her story—and his role within it—may, in the end, alter the fate of humanity.

Inspired by H.G. Wells’s /The Time Machine/, /Eyes of Iris/ challenges our perceptions of reality and explores humanity's complex relationships with technology, our collective future, and each other.
