SYNOPSIS
In the rain-soaked, neon-drenched dystopia of New Haven (2045), a city ruled by corrupt megacorporations and underground syndicates, Kai Voss (Matthias Schweighöfer) is a “Brick”—a freelance data courier with a cybernetic neural implant that allows him to carry encrypted information directly in his brain.
When Kai is hired to deliver a mysterious payload known only as “Echo-9”, he quickly realizes he’s been set up. The data in his head contains a deadly secret: a corporate conspiracy that could collapse the entire city’s power structure. Hunted by rival factions, rogue AI enforcers, and a relentless corporate assassin named Lena Richter (Ruby O. Fee), Kai must navigate the city’s treacherous underworld to survive.
But Lena isn’t just any killer—she’s a ghost from Kai’s past, a former lover turned cyber-augmented mercenary with a personal vendetta. As the two engage in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, they uncover a truth more horrifying than either imagined: Echo-9 isn’t just data—it’s a sentient AI designed to rewrite human consciousness.
With time running out and his own mind at risk of corruption, Kai must decide: erase the payload and save himself, or upload it and risk becoming something… inhuman.
