This clever, high-concept thriller stars Oscar-winning Riz Ahmed as a rigorously reclusive middleman for would-be whistleblowers seeking to settle with corporate malefactors. Ash (Ahmed) brokers deals between parties who never learn what he looks like, sounds like, or where he’s located. A brilliant manipulator of technologies old and new, Ash’s primary method of communication is a telephone relay service where operators are legally bound to withhold the identities of their users. But when a message arrives one day from a potential client (Lily James), needing his protection just to stay alive, the rules quickly start to change.
