The 2016 thriller follows successful self-made businessman Mike Regan, who enjoys a beautiful family and advanced smart home until his former IT consultant Ed turns stalker and weaponizes technology to target Regan’s daughter, business, and life. The story plays out as a personal cat-and-mouse game centered on privacy loss and a father’s fight to protect his household in a hyper-connected world.

Casting uses an international ensemble that fits the story’s global business and family setting without any visible identity signaling or forced choices. No political dialogue, activist messaging, or social-justice themes appear in the narrative or marketing.
