In the year 2040, New York City is not what it used to be. The world has changed, and technology has taken unprecedented leaps. But with progress comes danger. Meet Regan, a brilliant scientist and the leader of TRACKERS, a covert team of researchers working on advanced cerebral analysis projects.
One fateful day, while walking outside NY Medical, Regan's life takes an unexpected turn. An explosion rocks the medical facility, throwing the city into chaos. As alarms blare and people flee, Regan receives an urgent message from his teammate, Andrea. The situation is dire, and TRACKERS must be activated.
Regan rushes to the scene, discovering a grocery store overrun by panicked citizens, claiming they're being targeted. Among the chaos, he encounters Ishara, who pleads for help. Her daughter, Rhea, is critically ill, and they need assistance.
As Regan races against time to save Rhea, Andrea, stationed at their secret base, prepares the TRACKERS technology, a cutting-edge system that can uncover the truth behind a string of mysterious murders. Ishara's distrust slowly transforms into a desperate hope, and she agrees to let them use this experimental treatment on her daughter.
With Rhea connected to the TRACKERS system, her memories unveil a malevolent figure, Cal, lurking in the shadows. Cal has been the puppeteer behind a series of heinous murders plaguing the city.
As Regan and Andrea attempt to decode Rhea's memories and confront Cal, they find themselves entangled in a web of deception, power, and dark motives. Cal, an enigmatic and menacing figure, is determined to maintain control by any means necessary.
A young archeologist is launched on the adventure of her life when she joins a mixed crew of humans and aliens on a mission to atone for the failings of Earth.
