The series is expandable, based on the trilogy’s open ending, which presents a plethora of additional possibilities.
LOGLINE: Hacker, Bryan Reynolds, pays the ultimate price when he discovers a Top-Secret underground facility built beneath sacred land, forcing his grieving widow and Cheyenne best friend into a deadly government conspiracy where corporate power, ancient prophecy, and modern corruption collide.
