The storyline takes place in the far future where the world is effectively controlled by an organisation called C.C (Controlled cause) which supplies the world with type 4 (bellow nanometer scaletechnology)
) cybernetics and medicine that can not only cure any disease but also enhance the body to superhuman levels .

The catch however is that they control 100% of the supply due to a very controversial patent which gave them full control of the Methods to create the tech and the rights to distribute it. There were riots and revolts all across the world due to such life saving (and enhancing because let's be real here) tech being non replicable. Many tried to replicate the tech but it was way beyond their understanding and seemed to violate conventional laws of physics. So not only was the tech legally non replicable. But actually as well. The company was suspiciously selective about what the tech gets used on. And many people who's lives could be saved were denied access to it. But they'd always use various PR tactics to shut down criticisms. Since the company originated in UK , the country became more powerful than every nation combined. And leaders would try to appease them over the people. The company aquired a mystical status over the years with many forming cargo cults (cults that worship tech corporations and use rituals in hopes of getting access to the tech)  and religions forming over them.

The main character Karan , an ex  investigative journalist who has been trying to uncover the secret of the corp for years finally gets the chance to go to their main headquarters when a secret organization called Lost Effect recruits him to be one of their spies as part of their spy task force. he is trained and given tools that can counter cybernetic beings. Even though the inner workings of the cybernetics is anomalous in nature , It's functions aren't which can be disabled and countered.

He is able to infiltrate the headquarters along with his team and uncover a secret dungeon. Which contains a highly secured artifact. The security drones kill the rest of his team but the main character being an expert in cybernetic warfare is able to disable the drones using an EMP. This also disables an alarm that would give the order to call all units. He inspects the artifact and is transported to the industrial revolution period. He is shocked at this event and tries to Investigate further and finds out that the company at some point in his era came across an artifact that can transport someone to a single specific point in time and the company used it to travel back to the early years before the industrial revolution to build their empire over centuries and gain extremely large amount of powers.

They used the expertise and knowledge of the MC's present era and bought it to the past jumpstarting technological progress and giving them more than enough time to build upon their resources and create an empire. The MC finds all this out through a group of Lost Effect members who were also in the past and tried to infiltrate the main headquarters and ended up in the past through the artifact with it being unknown if they can return to the present or not. Distraught , the MC has a breakdown at the possibility of being stuck in the past and is desperate to go back even going as far as abandoning his goal to expose the organisation. Unfortunately the group are the only people he can trust and can confide in to cope with the alienation of living among people way more different than him (the people of the past) there are approximately 1800 members of the group and are split in their goals with one wanting to go back to the present and the other wanting to depower the corporation but ultimately they agree that investigating more and working together is in both of their best interests and they adopt various codes of conducts and use an A.I that calculates probability of various actions in the past which can effect their future existence to stay away from actions that can cause a chain of events that lead to their non existence or other bad fates. Soon the main character is able to befriend people from the past and see them as family (his present family died) but he knows he will never feel comfortable in the past and still tries to return to the future until he realises that he was seeing the past people as inferior to him and seeing himself as superior which occasionally causes him to distance himself from them since he believes he doesn't deserve them but occasionally helps them when they need him. He oddly accepts his feelings but doesn't let them guide his decisions and treats them just as he would like to be treated himself and ends up finding people to care about.

The group and the corporation engage in various covert battles with each other and there's a lot of dilemmas related to not radically altering the past to preserve themselves and preserving the innocent past people's future fates too that could be changed.

I've been trying to work on a storyboard with this kind of concept. Any suggestions ?
