When a failed assassination attempt on a rising populist politician ignites nationwide unrest, two mismatched London detectives uncover a covert program hidden inside Britain’s most popular AR glasses — technology capable of manipulating emotion, behaviour, and violent intent in real time. As riots spread and reality itself becomes unreliable, they must expose the conspiracy before an engineered civil collapse tears the country apart.
