Why these tropes fit
Set in a dystopian society where the government-run The Program is the only approved treatment for emotional distress, but it erases patients' memories entirely. Teenager Sloane suppresses all her emotional outbursts to avoid being taken for treatment, only letting her guard down with her boyfriend James, with whom she vows to stay safe and keep their relationship hidden. As their hidden emotional distress worsens, the pair face the looming threat of being separated and stripped of their memories and their love.
