Paradox Effect follows Karina, a lady struggling to repair her life and reconnect with her daughter, Lucy, in the aftermath of addiction. Set against the backdrop of Italy’s criminal underground, the plot takes a violent turn when Karina sees a murder committed by Covek, a corrupt Interpol official motivated by his desperate desires.
What began as a casual encounter quickly becomes a difficult, high-stakes journey as Karina is forced into a dangerous partnership with Covek. Together, they must negotiate not only the immediate risks posed by crime boss Silvio but also their moral quandaries and personal conflicts.
At first look, the idea appears to follow several thriller genre conventions: a hesitant protagonist thrust into a life-or-death situation, a ticking time, and dark figures looming big. However, the plot hints at the possibility of character-driven storytelling, particularly Karina’s personal struggles and redemption arc.
