Jimmy, Ann and Kaz are fed up with the System - the network of corporations and government operations that has destroyed their families and, even now, threatens the privacy and security of ordinary American citizens. So, swearing to a suicide pact, they vow to take it down.
The three teenagers transform the New York underground into a weapons storage unit and their own private haven and, from there, plan a series of guerilla attacks on System-run buildings around the city. But when they're caught by a New York detective unit before they can set up their final bombing, however - intended to take out the nexus, a fabled corporate building in Manhattan rumored to house the communications used to monitor the lives of citizens - all of their carefully laid plans begin to fall apart.
Suddenly, what began as an ambitious small-scale terrorist effort has transformed into an all-out manhunt as the three frantically try and stay one step ahead of the agents who are tracking them through the tunnels. As the race grows ever more desperate, who can they turn to? And can they even really trust each other?
