Harry Wyckoff is a patent lawyer who lives in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife in Los Angeles in the year 2007. When Harry is hired by Senator Tony Kreutzer, head of the Wild Palms group and evangelizer of "synthiotics" - 3D holograms that are broadcast through television - he unwittingly becomes the Trojan Horse for the Friends, an underground group trying to stop the Senator's crusade for mind control.
A dark, sexy, noir Los Angeles of the future is the backdrop for Oliver Stone's haunting, sci-fi saga of greed, treason and virtual reality. Harry Wyckoff (James Belushi) is about to become a player in a dark and terrifying battle where everything is at stake and no one is who they seem. Featuring an all-star cast, this story about a cult, a corporation, and a conspiracy to rule the country, is one of the most original movie events in recent history.
