William is a detective hunting down an ID forger, a serious crime in any developed nation, but this is the near future, and with global warming the world is fast approaching a more Orwellian state of affairs. Maria is William's main suspect, but the closer he gets the less impartial he becomes and soon the cop is contemplating a life on the run with the woman he loves. Code 46 is a cerebral drama based thriller, a believable dystopia, where freedom is a comfortable illusion, and free will removes you from the loop of the diminishing privileged.
