A British movie set in a not-too-distant dystopian future, where humanity is divided into those that live inside metropolitan areas in relative prosperity under the control of a global regime, and those that are exiled to the outside. In order to move around, people need special visa issued by a global entity called Sphinx. Sphinx knows what is best for everyone, and who resists it is exiled or has his memory erased. Tim Robbins plays an investigator sent to Shanghai to find out how fake permits can be produced and leave the local Sphinx branch. Using an empathy virus that allows him to read minds, he quickly finds the culprit, but instead of turning her in, he starts an affair that turns out to be illegal in an unexpected way.
