A heist goes south when a brilliant, principled mercenary with a traumatic history works with an insider to steal a valued commodity from Peredor Corporation called "the sphere". The C and Earth corporation vying for global dominance seeks to find a solution to an otherworldly technology for a scientist's project. A financial analyst, who despises his job at the powerful investment firm, Mutual One, is caught in the middle between deadly corporate rivals, financial fraud, and technological espionage, forcing him to run from the most psychopathic military contractor in the world.

A thin, convoluted, and chaotic story means that writer/director/editor Michael Ryan's sci-fi passion project falls short.

World building over story and WAY too much technobabble. Just a complete mess.

simple story of errybody chasing the mcguffin that opens the door to pure power. ogg is good, and anytime you can see the big eyed moon faced ricci girl who's been a little hotti forever but still looks great at 46. plus another little hotti, mena suvari who again at 47 still can be an it. the haters have it wrong again, just watch this, it'll be OK.
