Never underestimate the value of old TV series for some good plots.

The Village

The Village is based on the series The Prisoner, essentally the Village is a European experimental facility (based on the idea from the original Prisoner series that one of the MI6 SAIs found) that is entirely run as a VR program that captured foreign agents can be plugged into if getting information out of them isn't immediatly vital. Agents are then worn down by the members of the community being ruthlessly polite, pleasant and civilised towards them.

The PCs can be introduced as prisoners (In which case the entire stay in the village should be littered with evidence that there is a traitor in their group, implicating everyone at one time or another) or as wardens (in which case everyone should be given a secondary assignment to keep a check on another PC to make sure their loyalty isn't faltering)
