In the aftermath of a world‑shaking catastrophe known only as The Reset, society clings to a fragile reconstruction. The streets hum with the whirr of aging machinery replacing sleek, lost technology, while an ever‑watchful network of cameras and drones monitors every movement. Neon‑flickering signs and rusted industrial façades create a retro‑futurist tapestry, suggesting both nostalgia and unease. Life in the rebuilt cities feels like a careful choreography between survival and the relentless gaze of authority, a place where the past and a tentative future coexist in a tense, electric atmosphere.

​Simon, a gifted computer technician, finds his routine shattered when the sudden loss of his closest friend leaves behind a mysterious, encrypted data drive. Drawn by the promise of answers hidden within the dead‑friend’s last digital breadcrumbs, he crosses paths with ​Max, a reclusive hacker whose reputation is whispered among the underground circuits of the city. Their encounter is marked by a wary curiosity—Simon’s methodical expertise meets Max’s enigmatic, improvisational skill—setting the stage for an uneasy partnership that promises to probe the deeper seams of their surveillance‑saturated world.

Together they navigate a society dominated by Vopo, the powerful corporate entity that governs with an emphasis on stability and order. Along the way they glimpse figures such as ​Paul Bateson, a co‑founder of the organization whose presence hints at the complex moral calculus behind the city’s strict control. The film balances a brooding dystopia with moments of kinetic energy, letting the stark visual palette and a pulsing, synth‑laden score amplify the sense of mystery. As the two protagonists delve into the hidden layers of their world, the audience is invited to wonder what secrets lie beneath the surface of this meticulously reconstructed reality, and what price the pursuit of truth might demand.
