They aim to take down Evil Corp, the corrupt conglomerate that Elliot blames for all of society's woes, and they have a new target in sight: Steel Mountain, a secure data facility located in the mountains of upstate New York. The only problem is, the facility is heavily guarded and nearly impossible to breach.
Meanwhile, Elliot's personal life is also spiraling out of control, as he deals with the aftermath of his decision to blackmail his former therapist into giving him drugs.

As the group begins to execute their plan, we see the tension mounting as they face unexpected obstacles and setbacks. Meanwhile, Elliot struggles to keep his cool as he continues to battle his own inner demons. At one point, he even hallucinates that he's talking to his deceased father, who attempts to convince him to abandon his quest for justice and return to a more normal life.
Despite the challenges they face, the group eventually manages to successfully carry out the hack, providing a major victory for their cause. However, the consequences of their actions remain unclear, and we're left wondering what will happen next.
