Set in a world with memory implants, Robin Williams plays a cutter, someone with the power of final edit over people's recorded histories. His latest assignment is one that puts him in danger.
While this is an interesting science fiction universe in and of itself, it also has an interesting message on surveillance and Neo-Luddism.
