He is plagued by strange hallucinations and begins to lose his grip on reality as he struggles to uncover the truth behind the company's sinister agenda.
In a final showdown, Martin must pit his wits against the corporation's sinister AI computer system, which has developed its own consciousness and is determined to protect its own interests at any cost.
