During an opulent cocktail party, visionary businessman Jared unveils his plan to replace a historic arts district with Nova Heights, a futuristic smart city. His estranged brother Jason and arts commissioner Lucy oppose the project, viewing it as a betrayal of the community. As tensions rise, illusionist Elias transports the group through time, revealing the district's rich history and the bleak consequences of its destruction. Amid bribery, threats of fire, and moral dilemmas, the evening becomes a turning point for Jared, who must confront the true impact of his vision and decide the future of the city.
