Cyber Wars (2004)

In the dawn of the 21st Century, a world interconnected by the omnipresent Cyberlink thrives. This digital umbrella, rooted in the bustling Asian city-state of Sintawan, records the identities of all legal citizens, while criminals are masked behind illegal simulated identity implants known as Simplants. Amidst this technologically advanced society, the line between reality and illusion blurs, with every citizen becoming a pawn in a power-play controlled by a formidable consortium of five companies. Our narrative centers around Dash MacKenzie, a skilled bounty hunter in the concrete jungle of Entropolis. She is hired by Joseph Lau, the powerful head of a mega-corporation, and his accomplice Davinder Sandhu, to track down Edward Chan, a former employee who has mysteriously disappeared post a state-of-art procedure called neuromorphing. Despite warnings from Ident Detective Victor Huang about a potential threat to Edward's life, Dash remains focused on her mission. When Dash finally locates Edward, he is assassinated before he can reveal his secrets. Edward's mistress, Sylvia, narrowly escapes the same fate. Dash's pursuit of the truth behind Edward's elimination leads her to a shocking revelation with the help of her biotech guru, Julius Kui. They uncover that the five companies controlling the Cyberlink are the puppeteers behind Sintawan's society, playing a deadly game inspired by the ancient Chinese Wei Chi. As Dash and Victor delve deeper into the labyrinth of corporate intrigue and deception, they realize that they are merely avatars in this twisted game, where the Cyberlink's power is being exploited for a sinister purpose. In a world where nothing is as it seems, will they unmask the reality or will they too become pawns in this cybernetic war? The stakes are high in this thrilling journey through the shadows of a dystopian future.
