Warning: Spoilers
The film develops awkwardly in the beginning attempting to establish relationships. Linus Springer (Jonny Rees) is founder and CEO of Titan, a high tech software company, like Google on steroids. He has a number of young and teen app programmers and developers come work for his company. One such person is Jessie (Ashley Rickards) supposedly Linus' illegitimate daughter. Linus claims his absence as a father is what made Jessie strong..."A Boy Named Sue" philosophy that works better in a song than real life. Jesse has developed an app called "right click" that allows you to make some sort of on-line enemies list. It gets tied into Titan's network and it appears she has inadvertently created a "kill list" as people die around her.

The action takes place in a sparsely furnished neon/LED lit rooms. Not much cost for a set. Likewise the killings are in a small group. The problem with killer computer programs is that a person has to be somehow connected to be a victim and in this film it couldn't maintain that level past two people. Ashley plays the cynical daughter of a ruthless CEO who exhibits similar "coding." The film holds your interest for about an hour and then once things are revealed, the ending was severely anti-climatic.

Guide: No swearing or nudity. One sensual scene.
