At the University of Chicago, a research team that includes brilliant student machinist Eddie Kasalivich experiences a breakthrough: a stable form of fusion that may lead to a waste-free energy source. However, a private company wants to exploit the technology, so Kasalivich and physicist Dr. Lily Sinclair are framed for murder, and the fusion device is stolen. On the run from the FBI, they must recover the technology and exonerate themselves.

This is a relentless, high-octane ride that keeps you on edge. It feels like a classic 90s chase thriller, full of frantic energy and a palpable sense of being hunted. Expect propulsive action, a web of conspiracy, and the thrill of scientific discovery gone awry, all wrapped in a slick, urban package.
