The film is set in the near future; cybernetics have advanced to a
stage at which it is now possible to augment humans with cybernetic
parts to increase their performance - and a secret government
technology has been produced which allows human brains to exist in
completely robotic android-like bodies known as "Shells".
The Omega Crime Unit, a cyber-crime team who silently take out
cyber-terrorist threats and deal with serious risks to national
security is chasing a terrorist group who are trying to break into a
government facility to obtain information on their security systems –
and it seems as though they are preparing for a system-wide takedown
of the government network to digitally paralyse them for a few days.
The terrorists escape with the data on the government firewalls, and
the team re-convene to discuss a new strategy.
Tracing crimes of robbery, hacking and the occasional murder back
to a single point in the Capital City (using a CSI-style montage
investigation sequence), the crime team find a single member of the
terrorist group in the middle of a busy street and silently capture
him – only to find that the terrorist is, in fact, an android, who
subsequently self-destructs, preventing them from gaining any
information from it. They do, however, find traces of a signature
code of the terrorist group attempting to hack into a server from a
warehouse in another location – and most of the team leaves to go
and chase the signal.
Meanwhile, the main character, an augmented cyber-human, smells a
rat and stays behind – and as he examines the android's parts
closer, he spots a numerical ID code that matches that of one of the
government's own android IDs. He goes to the office of the head of
the crime unit, and finds him suspiciously absent – and upon
looking through his computer files, finds traces of hacking activity.
He puts two and two together and realises that the head of the crime
team was the main villain all along. Going down to the basement after
seeing a new hacking signal on the monitor, he finds the head of the
crime unit (another cybernetically augmented human) waiting for him –
who goes on to explain his entire evil plan to overthrow the
government and blow up the warehouse that the rest of the team are
currently inside.
The main character has thirty minutes to defeat/kill the head of
the crime team and halt the bomb to save the rest of his team – and
after an epic battle with laser swords and some awesome acrobatics,
he does so with a single second to spare.
The movie ends with the main character being given an award for
his success, and he is appointed as the new head of the crime team.
Cue fade out and credits. ^_^
