Synopsis

ARE YOU A FREEKER?

Set fifty years in the future in one of the largest, most influential hubs of the 21st century, a revolution is brewing. FBI agents Marc McCready and Morris Ignacio are sent to investigate a downtown riot, unaware that this is just the beginning of the chaotic upheaval about to come. The cloned wife of Ordosoft CEO Mason Huston may be the victim of a terrorist infobombing, while his rebellious daughter, Ashley, is about to uncover a conspiracy that could shake the very foundations of their world.

THE FUTURE IS NOW.
