In this story, which is set in the future, people are living in the comfort and safety of their homes and communicate with others through robot surrogates. When two surrogates and their owners are killed, FBI agents Greer (Bruce Willis) and Peters (Radha Mitchell) are assigned the case and, in the process, must abandon their surrogate world and venture outside their homes for the first time in years. Clues lead to The Prophet (Ving Rhames) who leads a group of people who have chosen to live their lives together–unlike those in the rest of the world who communicate only through surrogates.
