Plot

Mike Ryan is a self-made man who has it all: A gorgeous wife, a beautiful teenage daughter and a sleek, state-of-the-art smart home. His company is on the verge of changing the aircraft leasing business forever, when his relationship with Ed Porter, his I.T. consultant, sours. He soon finds himself in a deadly high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse when Ed starts stalking his daughter and using technology to threaten his family, his business and his life.

Cast

Production

The film was first announced in October 2013 as a revenge thriller with Pierce Brosnan headlining the project, to be financed by Voltage Pictures and was set to be directed by Stefano Sollima.[2] In August 2014, it was revealed that John Moore replaced Sollima as the film's director, and commissioned a total script rewrite by William Wisher.[3] Stefanie Scott was cast in April 2015 as the daughter of Brosnan's character,[4] and that the film was to start shooting in June later that year in Ireland.[5] A month later in May, it was reported that Anna Friel joined the cast as the wife of Brosnan's character and James Frecheville was going to play the young antagonist,[6] with Michael Nyqvist coming on board a few days later.[7] It's the last film to be produced by Beau St. Clair before she died battling cancer.[8][9] Principal Photography began on 25 June 2015,[10] and was wrapped on 29 July 2015.[11] Currently, the film is in post-production status.
