Imagine a not-too-distant future where you can be online 24/7 — plugged into the cloudt — able to stream video directly to your eyes, and audio straight to your ears. Instant communication with anybody, anywhere. GPS, banking, entertainment, social, work — all available through a simple cranial installation called The File.

Imagine the freedom!

Imagine the enslavement.

For Kyle White, widowered father of teenage twins, the risks — and the restrictions — are just too much. But in a world where living off the grid is a crime, a life unplugged can get cut short by forces intent on eliminating any aberrations in the data set — such as free individuals.
