One day, Lilly receives a message from a mysterious source who informs her that the people responsible for her father's death were members of a cyber terrorist group known as Revolt, and as a result, she devises her own plan to get revenge. As Lilly goes to put her plan into motion, she finds herself in an unexpected situation when she is framed by the people she was out to get and finds herself in handcuffs at the mercy of the FBI.
