A young inventor struggling to protect his latest creation becomes convinced that he is the subject of a secret Russian spy ring in this thriller starring Malcolm in the Middle's Christopher Kennedy Masterson. Paul Lionette is a gifted young scientist who was betrayed by the people he trusted most. When Paul's unique ideas begin turning up in science journals credited to other inventors, the paranoid genius senses that the Russians, the major corporations, and even his own government are doing their best to discredit his efforts. But there's one invention that Paul hasn't told anyone about just yet: The Cube. Now, in order to protect what could be one of the greatest inventions in the history of humankind, the reclusive Paul will disappear into society in a desperate bid to throw off his malicious stalkers. In the process, Paul falls for a passionate local waitress who longs to experience life outside of her small-town confines. Paul's plan becomes unexpectedly complicated, however, when he is thrust into the spotlight after a shocking accident. Now, as Paul's once-predictable world becomes distorted into a paranoid circus funhouse where nothing is as it seems, the brilliant inventor is forced to make a series of impossible decisions just to stay alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) is forced to conduct a brutal interrogation of Paul (James Frain), with Audrey (Kim Raver) looking on. Paul pleads ignorance, explaining that he owns so much property and is involved with so many buildings that he can't keep it all straight. He eventually remembers that a man named "Harris Barnes" bought out the company that owned the building in question, and Jack soon learns that Barnes is the alias of one Habib Marwan (Arnold Vosloo). He heads to Marwan's office. Curtis (Roger R. Cross) has been captured, and is interrogated by a man named Forbes (Richard Marcus), who foolishly leaves his henchman to finish Curtis off. Marwan has taken control of the override himself, and is operating it from an office full of co-workers who have no idea what he's up to. When Jack finds out that Curtis, who took Marianne to the same building, isn't answering his phone, he knows to expect trouble. Tony interrogates Dina (Shohreh Aghdashloo), who eventually admits that all the terror cells reported to Marwan, but never had contact with each other. She also reveals that Marwan is controlling the override himself from the office building. While Driscoll (Alberta Watson) continues to deal with her unruly daughter, Maya (Angela Goethals), CTU teams converge on the office building to find Marwan and the override and stop the meltdowns. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

Curtis (Roger R. Cross) and Driscoll (Alberta Watson) could both be in trouble over the whole Marianne (Aisha Tyler) debacle. They agree to cover each other with Division. Powell is dead, Marianne is unconscious, and the nuclear power plant at San Gabriel Island is on the verge of going critical. Edgar (Louis Lombardi) is concerned about his wheelchair-bound mother, who lives nearby and has no way to evacuate. While Behrooz (Jonathan Ahdout) goes to the local hospital, where his uncle, Naseem (Michael Benyaer), is a doctor, to try to get his mother some pain medication, Edgar is able to locate a cell phone that Powell called before he was shot, and that's how Jack and Tony are able to find Dina (Shohreh Aghdashloo), who is hiding out in a hotel room. Knowing Dina's weak spot, Jack tells Dina that Behrooz will get a full pardon and government protection if she leads them to the override device. She agrees, and calls Behrooz at the hospital to tell him to wait there for her and the CTU team. But Naseem, suspicious about Behrooz's request for meds, calls Navi (Nestor Serrano), who tells the doctor that Behrooz is on drugs, and to keep him at the hospital until Navi arrives. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
