Julian hopes to make a killing by selling the technology behind Ares. However, he has hidden from the investors that Ares can leave the Grid and be in the real world for only 29 minutes. Before the world can know about it, Julian looks for the 'Permanence Code'; it would solve this issue once and for all. He finds out that Eve has located the code and is carrying it with her in a drive. Ares is asked to go behind her and get the drive at any cost. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
