Once a street-smart grifter, Julia (Monroe) is the latest victim kidnapped and held captive in a fatal experiment.
Once a street-smart grifter, Julia (Monroe) is the latest victim kidnapped and held captive in a fatal experiment.
The only thing standing in the way of her freedom is "TAU," an advanced artificial intelligence developed by Alex (Skrein), her captor.
"TAU" is armed with a battalion of drones that automate a futuristic smart house.
"TAU’s" potential is only limited by his understanding of the world he exists in, but "TAU" is ready for more.
Julia, showing resourcefulness and courage, must race against time to bridge the boundaries between man and machine, connect to "TAU" and win her freedom before she suffers the same fate as the previous subjects.
