A prototype super soldier with a tragic past becomes the wild card in a conflict between an anarchist uprising and a fascist government invasion.

SYNOPSIS:

Picture a world where a groundbreaking new energy source has long since solved climate change and upgraded our technology at unprecedented speeds. With this unrestricted invention also came social chaos. Crime waves and wars run rampant.

After his wife and daughter are murdered, Shane Braddock, becomes the guinea pig in a prototype power armor experiment. He is granted superhuman capabilities and sent on a mission where he stumbles upon a government plot to end all war and crime with a global invasion using A.I.—Operation Unity. He decides he can’t be part of such tyranny and flees. While on the run, he saves the life of a woman in trouble, Mikaela. She is wanted by drug slinging gangsters and has tragically lost her mom. They connect over their shared pain. A spark of attraction ignites. Shane finds a ray of happiness in this new friendship and her optimistic view on life.

Just when Shane and Mikaela find a safe cabin to hide, more super soldiers show up and capture them. Shane is offered a deal by the hawkish General Crawford—Shane’s own mother!— to rejoin Operation Unity. He rejects her offer but Shane and Mikaela are rescued by the mysterious anarchist known as the Artist.

The Artist presents Shane with a plan to stop Operation Unity by setting off an EMP that will permanently shut down the new energy source they’ve become so dependent on throughout the world. Will Shane choose to help this so called “terrorist” and set the world back hundreds of years to stave off a fascist government invasion? The fate of the world rests in this emotionally broken man’s powerful hands.
