Synopsis

Jackie is one of the most world renown hackers. He has developed his masterpiece: An App that allows anyone to hack any social media account and grab all the information with just the use of that person's phone number. Even if that info has been deleted the App can find it. Once he has made public his new development in an online post his life is in danger. The pure essence of this App opens up the possibility to create world chaos if it falls in the wrong hands. All the international security agencies are following Jackie after this but even more dangerous is a crime organization that has set one of their best hitmen to trace, find and eliminate Jackie to gain control of the new software. This cat and mouse race ignites a chain of events that endangers Jackie and everyone around him. An action thriller that evolves around cybercrime. The movie puts in place a history that shows us how fragile our private information security is in a world governed by social media. A technological chaos theory based on the premise that the power is not in the money that is in the hands of a few but in the information in the hands of many. As how the trust in technology can play against the human race.
