The internet company “Tolkoya” was set up by the maverick CEO Vasili Romanov with an ulterior purpose--to influence the entire population. All begins to unravel when a journalist, Mirko van Aspern, searches for the next big story and begins to follow a presidential candidate. Mirko gets help from Malene Eriksen, a former employee who is wheelchair-bound after she was severely injured in an attack meant to kill Tolkoya’s CEO. Movies have identified many threats to humanity - such as alien invasion and disease. But there may be an even greater threat: mind control. In fact, it is almost here.
