What is ‘Off the Grid’ About?
Guy is a genius scientist dedicated to discovering an innovative energy source that can provide affordable, clean energy to impoverished nations worldwide. However, his employers begin plotting to weaponize this groundbreaking discovery in a way Guy never intended. Instead of allowing his life’s work to be misused for nefarious ends, he makes the bold decision to disappear, completely off the grid.
Now, under a new identity, he lives a tranquil life in a cabin he built, nestled in a quaint European village. However, his peaceful existence is abruptly disrupted when his former company traces him to this serene hideaway, and sends a strike force to capture him. As shadows close in, Guy must harness not just his scientific ingenuity, but every ounce of his strength and resolve to outsmart the attack squad and safeguard his legacy.
