Attorney Joe wakes up in a pitch-black room with a laptop computer and a smartphone. After contacting his friend Freddie to inform him about his plight, Joe receives a video call from a masked man calling himself The Judge. After informing Joe that he's been imprisoned due to his work with a fracking firm buying lands in a local valley, The Judge warns Joe that he only has 8 hours to scuttle the large land grab - or suffer the consequences.
