- Synopsis
- The Year is 2027. Red Eye 2, a revolutionary state of the art contact lens, that can record data and even now evoke buried memories, is about to be released. On the night of the press Key Note, Margo Elson, a Metis researcher in the department of Memory, meets with her friend Elise, Red Eye’s Head Programmer and Elise reveals a secret: she’s discovered someone’s tampered with the new version and code. She tells Margo she’s afraid, she knows too much and gives Margo her password and unbeknownst to Margo – a clue. She tells Margo to read to be son, Zack, “Through the Looking Glass”.
  The next morning, when Elise is found dead in her lab, Margo suspects it wasn’t an accident. She’s been murdered. The death of her friend, sets off memories of her own grand-mother’s death, when she was a young girl, and Margo is determined this time to find out who killed Elise and why.
  Enter, Thomas Xavier, a police detective with a past he can’t escape, known for his sharp and unorthodox skills to catch criminals.
  As Thomas delves into the world of Red Eye, and its new partner, TOWER, a leading security firm, he finds a bizarre corporate world, he finds a world where secrecy is everything. When Margot reveals to Thomas, Elise last messages, the two break into Elise’s apartment. It is Elise who discovers the Looking Glass: through a magnifying glass on her desk, and the words “The Internables.”
  Pursuing the Internables, a band of Vigilantes, holed up in a warehouse, Thomas and Margo meet Jade, who recognizes Margo, knows she has Elise’s password, and reveals she stole Elise’s helmet that night, a helmet that recorded everything that happened. What they also discover is that Elise herself was an Internable and had a secret life, Margo never imagined.
  Margo unlocks the password and sees what the helmet recorded: A masked Man, in a struggle with Elise, the same Masked Man Margo remembers from her childhood, the man who killed her beloved guardian, Mamere. Mamere and Margo share a link: both abandoned as children. It was Mamere who taught Margo everything she knew, and the world of the spirit. Never to lose who she is “by a system”. Mamere had run away from a Residential school, only to find her parents gone when she returned to their Homestead.
  As Thomas digs deeper into the role of Tower, he finds a sinister plot, to meld the minds of its innocent victims – the public, in an Orwellian drama, where privacy invasion is taken to its limits.
  Confronting her own deep fears, and drawing on the courage and spirit Mamere gave her, Margo must face the killer, and Thomas must fight his own demons, before he can be redeemed. As Jade and the Internables, fight to bring down Tower, Thomas uncovers a Red Eye future that is a living nightmare.
  A futuristic aboriginal thriller, about love, ego, redemption, and corporate greed, Red Eye is a story of a world of authority pitted against a world of truth and vision, where revolution is the only viable answer and where the past must free the future.
