A young man’s recovery from a brutal attack takes a startling turn in this unconventional science fiction action film, as embedded smartphone shards grant him glitching, fragmented superpowers mirroring the digital world. Instead of a smooth transition to heroism, Tom navigates a chaotic reality where his abilities—visual distortions, digital manipulation, and limited telekinesis—are unreliable and constantly threaten to overwhelm him, reflecting his fragmented identity and post-traumatic state. The film centers on his clumsy, often humorous, attempts to master these powers not for grand battles, but for personal retribution and a desperate longing to reclaim a lost connection with his girlfriend. It's a distinctly unpolished take on the superhero origin story, grounded in the messy realities of teenage life and the isolating impact of trauma rather than soaring spectacle.
