The Code

Ned Banks (Dan Spielman) has spent the last ten years juggling a stalling career as an on-line journalist with the care of his talented but troubled brother, Jesse (Ashley Zukerman). When Alex Wisham (Lucy Lawless) the teacher of the kids involved in the accident, tells him she has phone footage of the crash, Ned thinks his big break has finally come. With Jesse’s help, Ned is able to clean up the video. Its contents are shocking, and the decision to publish will light the wick on a story too explosive to be contained.

As Ned Banks (Dan Spielman) plane touches down in the remotest corner of the state, he has no idea that his brother is being held for questioning by one of the most powerful arms of the law in the country. The Cyber Crime Unit, headed by Malcolm Coover (Steve Rogers) has been tracking Jesse’s on-line activities with increasing concern. They want to know why Jesse (Ashley Zukerman) was hacking into a highly classified research facility, they want to know what files he copied and whether he’s working for someone else. They also have a keen eye on Jesse’s newest cyber playmate Hani Parande (Adele Perovic). Hani is of Iranian descent and has a bumpy history with Coover and the Cyber Crime unit.

Convinced that the Cyber Crime Unit are monitoring him, Jesse (Ashley Zukerman) and Hani (Adele Perovic) secretly go on the run. They head south to the family’s holiday house where they hope to remain under the radar long enough to find out some answers.

Ned and Jesse are on the run, and running out of options … their house has been ransacked, their phones bugged, their every computer stroke tracked. Nowhere to hide, no one to turn to – no choice but to hunt down the truth in Lindara in the hope that it will save them.

Working hard to stick to the new rules of engagement - leave the hottest story of his life alone, in order to keep his brother out of jail - for Ned (Dan Spielman), the gag cuts deep. As Andy King (Paul Tassone) watches the deal he has worked so hard for crumble, he turns his attention to Hani (Adele Perovic) and her family. The results are brutal and desperate - the actions of a man with nothing left to lose.

Ned and Jesse Banks have gambled high – they’ve handed over the technology in exchange for Hani’s safety. As soon as they have her back, they will call in the police and have Niko Gaelle stopped before he can get out of the country. A fine plan, except that Hani is not safely returned at all, and Ned and Jesse have just made themselves part of the supply chain for the deadliest blackmarket in the world.
