In the world of Huaxia, humanity's last defense against invading aliens lies in the Chrysalises, giant transforming robots piloted by a boy-girl pair in which girls disproportionately die, their life forces drained by their male pilots. When eighteen-year-old Zetian volunteers to be a pilot in order to get revenge on the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death, her unexpected revenge makes her a state target at the same time she may be its only hope.
The film is an English-language remake of the hit 2017 Thai film by Nattawut Poonpiriya. The US-set adaptation is being described as a high-octane thriller about a group of entrepreneurial high school seniors who team up to take down a rigged college admissions system. Casting discussions are underway.
