An MI6 computer operative is secretly also a member of a global surveillance network known as Charter, from which another sinister agent is trying to steal its power.
Derivative hi-tech thriller, where the Tech itself seems to be the main raison d'etre, leaving most human sympathies high and dry after the first hour.
