Reflective Companion is a sci-fi audio series that takes place in a speculative imagining of Los Angeles. Amidst global panic to reduce toxic emissions, the U.S. government has ordered a ban on electronic devices from citizens' use and possession. Cell phones, computers, radios, etc. All are confiscated during nightly police raids. Social activity is monitored through continuous drone surveillance.

Local governments and private companies still maintain authority and use electronic devices, such control deemed ‘essential’ to crumbling societal and economic infrastructure. Each year corporations and medical groups launch a limited number of ‘test programs’ - the only way citizens can participate and gain access to the use of new technologies.

One of these programs, marketed as a mental health experiment, is called the Reflective Companion.

Leslie Jade (LJ) tells the story of navigating this new world and their experience as a test subject with a Reflective Companion implant.

Despite the raids, communities have found ways to counter surveillance and develop secret micro-networks of communication.

As fascism and environmental crisis lead to widespread hostility, LJ and their friends must each decide how to create a meaningful existence and survive.
