Hoping for a more exciting life than the suburban drawl he currently inhabits, nerdy salaryman Morgan Sullivan (Jeremy Northam) takes a job as an industrial spy at Digicorp, a global computer corporation. Digicorp assigns him the duty of flying to various conventions around America, recording the speeches that are made. But when Sullivan meets a mysterious woman (Lucy Liu) he begins to realize that his job may not be what it seems, as he descends into a dark underworld of brainwashing and struggles to maintain his own identity.
