Mike Regan is a self-made aviation tycoon who lives in a state-of-the-art smart house full of modern technologies with his wife Rose, and 17-year-old daughter Kaitlyn. Mike's company is developing an app called "Omni Jet" which will increase business while they raise much-needed capital with a stock offer. However, it requires Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approval.
At the company, he meets a 28-year-old I.T. consultant, Ed Porter, whom he calls to fix his home's WiFi signal which his daughter complains is slow. Porter also upgrades Mike's car's GPS and claims that he also worked at the NSA and had joined the military exercise in Kandahar. Mike invites Porter to the family's barbecue.
Porter meets Kaitlyn and starts a relationship with her through social media, but Mike fires him after Kaitlyn invites him in the house, cutting his promising career at the company. Devastated, Porter begins to remotely access Mike's private data, including his house, as he covertly monitors them through the security cameras and devices all over the house. He even spies and records Kaitlyn, unknown to her, masturbating in the shower room.
