The plot follows disgraced intelligence officer Maya Velez (played with raw ferocity by newcomer Zara Ahmed) as she uncovers a privatized surveillance ring inside her own government. No capes.

The AI would instantly return a predicted box office gross, optimal budget, and release date, based on thousands of data points. That future is already in beta on Film Hit.com.
