Jeremy Northam stars as Morgan Sullivan, a computer programmer who gets a new job at Digicorp, hoping that it will alleviate the boredom of his existence. Digicorp has hired him to join their corporate espionage division, sending him on assignments to investigate the activities of rival companies. As he goes about his duties, he meets another corporate agent, Rita (Lucy Liu), whose revelations cause him to question the nature of his new job. As uncertainties continually arise, Morgan finds himself caught in a spiral where even his own identity becomes in doubt. Presenting a future of sleek surfaces and high technology, CYPHER envisions a world where the power of capital can invade people's minds. [More]
