A dark, cerebral sci-fi thriller that plunges into the nightmare of a mind under siege, blending corporate paranoia with existential horror about identity and sanity.

In a battle of man versus machine, Martin, a top neurosurgeon who's studying brain malfunctions that cause mental illness, delves deep into his own mind to save himself from a megalomaniacal corporation.
