Short synopsis:
Set within a dystopian world that is a collision between technology and humanity,”Reboot” touches upon many of the current social and political concerns that arise from becoming more and more intertwined with the virtual. In contemporary Los Angeles, a young female hacker (Stat) awakens from unconsciousness to find an iPhone glued to her hand and a mysterious countdown ticking away on the display. Suffering from head trauma, and with little recollection of who she is or what is happening, Stat races against time to figure out what the code means, and what unknown event the pending zero-hour will bring.
In addition, the filmmakers are doing a pretty elaborate ARG campaign for the film and are currently have people playing game in 135 countries. You can learn more about their game here: www.rebootfilm.com/scoreboard.
