A contemporary, psychological thriller and black comedy.
Five people who barely know each other are linked in an extraordinary experiment.
Joe Ferrera as Ramon, Paul Barber as Dan
At Treccabyte Tower, five people are working at the weekend: The CEO Mr Floss (Joe McGann); his head of legal affairs, Mrs Peters (Issy van Randwyck); her assistant Joyce (Emily Woodward); the security guard Dan (Paul Barber); and the janitor Ramon (Joe Ferrera). Five people who barely know each other, though they see each other every day.
Joe McGann as Mr Floss
Mr Floss is bored but has just split up with his girlfriend and has nowhere else to go. The recently-divorced Mrs Peters is frustrated that she never sees her daughter while she's awake, and someone seems to have stolen her favourite mug. Joyce is terrified of her boss, and can't seem to get her psychiatrist Dr Lexington (Eva Pope) on the phone. Dan keeps finding that all the chairs in the office are being stolen, and he's convinced that Ramon is the culprit.
What none of them realise is that Dr Lexington has arranged for them all to be implanted with a new, experimental microchip, "Splinter", which allows their deepest thoughts to be accessed by a computer genius and displayed to the project's mysterious backers (Michael N Harbour and Nickolas Grace).
