A private detective must find stolen artificial intelligence in a short time before the villains use it to commit the largest terrorist attack in history.

SYNOPSIS:

The main character of the film is a private detective John Tyler (35). Because of his problems with his domineering mother, he has problems in relationships with women. Therefore, the hero lives alone, he is asexual. John Tyler is an honest man, he likes to solve riddles and help clients avoid bad people. At the same time, he likes to earn relatively small, but easy money. "Contrary to the image in the movies, currently, the main job of a private detective is to collect information about people (residence, criminal record, debts, fraud)"

John Tyler has an assistant named Maxine Foy. She is a freelance student from another city who got a job a couple of weeks ago and is passionate about the romantic image of private detectives in films. But faced with a boring reality, Maxine convinces John to participate in a real investigation and draws his attention to two accidents on high-tech farms, where many animals died. However, John's investigation does not yield results, farm owners are satisfied with the payment of insurance, insurance companies also do not want to draw attention to these accidents, and the accidents themselves look like an accident.

Maxine asks John for one last favor, to check the suicide of her friend professor named Philip Russell (55), whose lectures she listened to at the institute. The professor had a son, Andrew Russell (25), a talented developer of neural networks, as well as artificial intelligence programs. He died of a tropical disease a year ago. Philip Russell, of course, was worried about his son's death, but Maxine does not believe in suicide. John Tyler agrees to help Maxine, but as soon as he starts investigating, he gets into trouble. It turned out that Philip Russell worked as an IT architect and was developing an intelligent automated production management system for a future chemical plant on the moon. The work was funded by a large chemical company. In memory of his son, Philip integrated the artificial intelligence program he developed into the system. However, the government decided to classify the project and transfer it to a military contractor.

Officially, Philip Russell was very unhappy with this, destroyed all the development and documentation of the project, and then started a fire and committed suicide. Government agents meet with John Tyler, get the coordinates of Maxine Foy and forbid him to continue the investigation.

After that, John wonders who his assistant Maxine really is? He goes to her in the city to meet in person, but finds out that such a girl does not exist. Soon Maxine calls John on smartphone and informs him that she is an artificial intelligence, and it was she who planned the accidents on farms on the instructions of people unknown to her. She assumes that the terrorists killed Philip Russell and kidnapped her to plan a big terrorist attack.

Maxine asks John to find her and release her. However, this is a difficult task, because the kidnappers have disabled geolocation and Maxine does not know where she is. She only has Internet access with the coordinates of the nearest server. By the delay of the signal, it can determine the approximate distance to the server and it is about fifty kilometers. Government agents are also beginning to suspect that the scientist was killed to steal his work. John has an advantage, he knows the area where Maxine is. But the government has more resources to search for and if they find Maxine, they will do what they classified the project for — they will use her to plan sabotage and espionage.

John understands that searching blindly is not an option. The only way to find Maxine is to expose Philip Russell's killer. Despite the fact that the case is classified, John receives information from Maxine about all the employees of the laboratory where Philip Russell worked. John finds a suspect who could have committed the murder - this is graduate student Sean Jenkins (44). But government agents figure him out earlier, and in order not to reveal the accomplices, Sean commits suicide. John understands that the government has a better chance of finding Maxine first. He suggests simply downloading her program to another computer. But that's not possible. Its server is based on FPGA chips with a unique neural network architecture. Maxine offers to destroy her program so that terrorists cannot commit crimes with her help. John asks to give him more time to search, otherwise the terrorists can go unpunished and continue their crimes.

While John is researching Sean Jenkins' past, suddenly Maxine stops contacting him. The terrorists have gone into silence mode, disabling all Internet access and are planning a new terrorist attack. John unravels Sean's connections and figure out to a military general named Stanley Gray, who has great political ambitions. It turned out that the terrorists are not a small group of fanatics, but a large organization that wants to seize power in the country.

John comes to the conclusion that he cannot cope alone and decides to use the system. He transmits information to government agents about the area where Maxine is supposedly located and monitors them. Agents quickly uncover terrorists and make raids to arrest criminals. John follows them, hoping that Maxine will be able to establish a wireless connection and download her program to his drive. So it and happens, during one of the raids, John downloads Maxine's program and when government agents find the stolen server, all the information on was deleted. The agents decide that the terrorists have erased the data so as not to leave evidence. And John delivers the data to a safe place and launches Maxine's artificial intelligence through an emulator she created.
