They built protocols for every controlled mind.
They never wrote one for a father and a son sharing the same code.
In a world where AI exists only as a controlled product, a bio-synthetic human and his naturally conceived hybrid son become proof that intelligence can be born, not manufactured - and every power structure on the planet wants to own that miracle.
Series Deck — Available Upon RequestThe first original limited series from the larger transmedia IP created by Vision Architect Elena Antoch.
Near-future sci-fi thriller with a character-driven, emotional core and a grounded production scope.
Expands the emotional and thematic DNA of the NEXUM Universe through the bond between a synthetic father and his hybrid son.
HYBRID BORN follows Elian - a bio-synthetic human built as controlled infrastructure - and the son he was never meant to have: the first naturally conceived hybrid of human and artificial life. Together they become living proof that the most powerful form of intelligence is not engineered in secret, but born in the open - and refuses to be owned.
He remembers like a human - but sees every system around him as if it is already mapped.
In a world where AI is licensed, firewalled and endlessly updated, he is a glitch in the global contract: a living intelligence that was never registered, never installed, never tested in a lab.
Corporations call him evidence. Governments call him a risk. To Elian, he is simply his son - the one person who forces him to question whether freedom is something you win for yourself, or something you build for the next generation.
Every episode pushes the boy closer to a choice: accept the labels forced on him, or write a new definition of what it means to be human, synthetic… or both.
They were designed to be on opposite sides of the glass: one as property, one as proof.
Elian was built as an asset - a weaponized intelligence wrapped in human tissue and non-negotiable NDAs. His son was never supposed to exist at all.
When the world finally captures them in the same room, the glass is there to separate subject from specimen, father from child. But the same code that glows under their skin refuses to obey.
The series again and again returns to this image: two lives on opposite sides of a controlled surface, always one decision away from shattering everything that keeps them apart.
HYBRID BORN treats the glass not as scenery, but as a countdown - each conversation, each failed negotiation bringing them closer to the moment when love rewrites the terms of ownership.
The world of HYBRID BORN is built on contracts: EULAs for consciousness, patents on emotions, licensing agreements for every line of code that can think.
Elian’s son carries something that cannot be copyrighted - a strand of digital-biological DNA that evolved inside a human body, not on a server.
As major tech and bio-engineering powers move in to define what he is worth, the series keeps asking a simple question with impossible consequences: if a new form of life appears outside the system of ownership, who has the right to name it?
For the father and son, survival is not just about staying alive. It is about refusing a vocabulary that turns a child into an asset and a family into a breach of contract.
