Marcus and his friends become targets of the DHS after they are caught using their tech skills to evade security checkpoints and investigate the attack. Marcus is eventually released, but he soon realizes that the DHS has overstepped its bounds and is infringing on the civil liberties of citizens. Determined to fight back, Marcus uses his hacking skills to expose the DHS's abuses and mobilize a movement of young people to resist their encroachment.
