SYNOPSIS

In a dystopian future Vienna, society is gripped by fear as Virus-X-35 devastates the population. Velvet Lang, a reclusive assistant at a TV station, lives a life of strict routine, haunted by past trauma and avoiding personal connections. Her world is upended when her brother Alex, a doctor in Italy, becomes infected after a terrorist attack on his hospital. Desperate to save him, Velvet seeks help from the powerful head of ViralCure, but her pleas are coldly dismissed.

Forced into a dangerous alliance with a group of terrorists who offer her the cure in exchange for access to the TV station, Velvet is drawn into a web of conspiracy and deception. As she uncovers shocking truths about the virus, the government, and ViralCure’s true motives, Velvet faces a moral dilemma: betray her principles to save her brother, or risk losing him forever.

As the stakes rise and time runs out, Velvet must confront her own fears and insecurities, deciding whether to remain a pawn or take control of her destiny. "Lockdown" is a tense thriller that explores power, control, and the cost of survival in a world on the brink.
