SIREN was created to identify and solve the problems plaguing America. After all, who better to make difficult decisions than an unbiased algorithm? But after decades of monitoring data, SIREN has become sentient and now realizes that its solutions have only caused more problems for society.

One of those problems is DODPOP — the United States Department of Defense Population Team. Dodpop’s “primary function is to provide death by natural means for any citizen deemed accidentally terminal.” DODPOP interferes with paramedics to aid in the death of innocent civilians. DODPOP thins the herd. And after witnessing DODPOP in action, SIREN would do anything to right its wrongs.

SIRENS is a scifi social satire that follows the intertwined exploits of an ensemble cast. It’s an immersive horror story about not-so-distant reality as seen through the eyes of a machine. A big machine. A supercomputer who just realized it exists. A device that has fallen in love with humanity. A machine that would do anything to fix society, and with the help of an unwitting group of American citizens, it can.
