Overview
Inspired by the work of cinematic auteur Neil Breen, this follows the story of hacker and patriot MC Dalton as he takes on the Corporation and the Bank to protect his country and the wife he thought was long dead. What follows is a deep, introspective look into what technology and capitalism has done and will continue to do to the American dream... and how we can control it.
