“Power corrupts.”
In a city where people with powers are tightly controlled by robotic police, an ex-con is pulled back into danger when he joins forces with a drug lord he cannot trust. Their uneasy alliance is driven by the need to protect a teenager from a corrupt officer who uses the system for his own ends. The story follows that pursuit through a harsh, heavily monitored world where every move can trigger violence.
Jeff Chan directs this 2024 film, shaping the clash between ordinary survival and extraordinary ability. Robbie Amell leads the cast as the ex-con forced into the fight, while Stephen Amell plays the drug lord whose interests collide with his. The two men are drawn together by pressure rather than loyalty, and their uneasy partnership gives the film its tension. The cast also centers the threatened teen and the corrupt cop who turns power into an instrument of abuse.
Set in a near-future landscape of surveillance and fear, the film mixes crime tension with science-fiction action and a darker, more threatening edge. Its world feels cold and controlled, with the presence of robots making every confrontation feel impersonal and dangerous. The tone is tense and urgent, built around mistrust, desperation and the cost of protecting someone vulnerable.
