mesmerizing sci-fi thriller PRIMER is the feature

tract-home fringes of an unnamed contemporary city two
young engineers, Abe and Aaron work by day for a large
corporation while conducting extracurricular

discover that it has some highly unexpected
capabilities--ones that could enable them to do and to
have seemingly anything they want.
