Set in the dystopian urban south of the not-too-distant future, a group of social misfits must put everything on the line as they take a stand against an oppressive government in hopes of changing the future. Outnumbered and outgunned, their hope may lie in the world of the subconscious.

A few years from now, the next-generation cell phone that you swallow like a pill, dubbed the "I-Mind," becomes all the rage. Text message telepathically! Download movies straight to your brain! Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and JLo love their I-minds oh so much. But there's a hidden side-effect to taking an I-Mind: loss of all individuality and incorporation into the collective world-wide consciousness known as The Hive. All of humanity has been assimilated but one. Now, running out of food and fuel in his undisclosed broadcast bunker, driven half mad from loneliness, Doug Trench decides to fire up his old radio show one last time... ...and fight the Hive Mind with half his brain tied behind his back.

Five strangers face the unthinkable when they wake up and find themselves trapped. With no idea how they got there they frantically try to figure out how to escape. The disoriented group quickly realise the truth about their situation when they discover another room containing enough water to survive for 30 days… and a razor sharp surgical knife. The intention becomes quite clear. Whoever put them in this place wants to see just how long it will take before the hunger makes them commit unspeakable acts and cross a very deadly line.
