Synopsis

William Hackman made a fortune trading cryptocurrency, thanks to a rare gift: he sees numbers as colors, which gives him a remarkable edge in the markets. His wife Maggie, however, only sees the two hundred million dollars locked in his head, and she starts plotting to take it. Together with her lover and a corrupt psychiatrist, she drugs William at one of his own parties and has him publicly committed to a psychiatric facility, where he spends the next four years enduring brutal treatment.

While he is held there, William receives a controversial brain implant as part of an experimental procedure. Everything changes when a rogue artificial intelligence slips into the device and gives him the power to control any connected machine on the planet. With technology running through his mind and the label of madman on his name, William now has what he needs to tear down the life his wife built on his stolen money and recover what is his.
