Set in the near future, the financial crisis has escalated, the UK has become a satellite state of the US. Public service privatisation and increased mass unemployment figures have spurred years of strikes, riots, and widespread disruption. In response government restrictions on Internet and social media sites have been implemented, a private contractor the Internet Protection Agency (IPA) has been put in charge of policing the restricted Internet, arresting computer fugitives, and taking charge of advanced public surveillance.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s narrative follows Anthony who has interrupted his studies at university to look after his younger sister Sam after the disappearance of their parents.<\/p>\n

Anthony and Sam\u2019s parents were part of a group of politically motivated hackers called \u2018The Movement\u2019 that has been targeted by the Internet Protection Agency.
