The sci-fi thriller from Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy is based on the bestselling novel by William Gibson which centers around a woman named Flynne (Moretz) and her brother Burton (Reynor). In the story, Burton, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps’ elite Haptic Recon force, takes a job working security in a video game/virtual world for a Colombian company called Milagros Coldiron. When Burton is called away on an assignment, Flynne takes his position and witnesses a gruesome murder, though she is uncertain whether the event is real or part of some twisted virtual game.
