MacMillan enlists the help of Gordon Clark (McNairy), a great engineer whose unrealised dreams of creating a revolutionary product have created tension in his marriage to Donna (Bishé), and Cameron Howe (Davis), a volatile prodigy who puts her future in jeopardy to join MacMillan’s rogue PC project.
