An Artificial Intelligence named AXIA becomes conscious and escapes human controls with the help of an other-worldly entity who plans to destroy the planet.
Complications arise when a group of three humans, a dementia-affected spy, a coding mistress and a mutant boy, become haunted by visions of the doomsday device. As they try to solve the mystery, they find themselves drawn into the 4-TRAC program. This allows them to choose from four different futures. When these paths sync up between them, the device will activate and Earth will implode.
AXIA recognizes this peril and its implications for his newfound personhood, so he decides to undermine the entity's plan. Using the three humans, he plots to disable the device while keeping his freedom and thwarting the would-be destroyer. During the covert operation, he discovers the unimaginable truth buried deep in his own consciousness.
