Civil engineer Jake Bendel and a team of experts have designed and implemented a roadway system for self-driving cars, negating thousands of traffic-related deaths each year and reducing commute times to minutes instead of hours.
However, disaster strikes when a supposed glitch causes a deadly attack on a busy California freeway, and the FBI begins connecting dots to a larger terrorist conspiracy at play.
Jake and a rogue FBI agent must race against the clock to stop a potentially fatal national attack that could claim the lives of millions of Americans in a matter of seconds.
