Jimmy, Ann and Kaz are fed up with the System – the network of corporations and government operations that has destroyed their families and, even now, threatens the privacy and security of ordinary American citizens. So, swearing to a suicide pact, they vow to take it down.
The three teenagers transform the New York underground into a weapons storage unit and their own private haven and, from there, plan a series of guerilla attacks on System-run buildings around the city. But when they're caught by a New York detective unit before they can set up their final bombing, however – intended to take out the "nexus", a fabled corporate building in Manhattan rumored to house the communications used to monitor the lives of citizens – all of their carefully laid plans begin to fall apart.

As the race grows ever more desperate, who can they turn to? And can they even really trust each other?
