A hacker with the alias INTOXICANT is threatening to destroy a famous internet forum named BDD. Out of curiosity and panic, netizens flood the system to await the impending apocalypse. With online anonymity, heated debates, senseless quarrels, and scathing put-downs ensue. As the countdown to annihilation begins, six users are suspected of being the mastermind behind the hacking crisis. Boldly using live-action actors and enclosed sound stages to mimic the interactions in the virtual world, the film embodies the cyber culture in a humorous and innovative fashion. The micro-society depicted in this tale of treachery and espionage incisively reflects the power struggles and manipulation of public opinion in the real world.
