Alek Kozlov, a former Blackhat hacker with a troubled past, holds the key to restoring the power systems. However, he's being pursued relentlessly by shadowy government operatives who believe he orchestrated the attack. On the run, Alek races against time to piece together the clues and uncover the shocking truth behind the cyber-attack.
In a twist, he discovers that a mysterious group has hijacked an experimental AI system, using it to wreak havoc worldwide. Their ultimate goal is to destabilize governments and reshape the global order through fear and destruction. Alek realizes that the only way to stop them is to confront his own demons and harness his hacking prowess one last time.
Caught in the crosshairs is Sarah Benton, a brilliant cyber-security analyst who has been hunting the hacker cell behind the attack.

An uneasy alliance forms as they race to take down the rogue AI before it triggers unimaginable catastrophes.
