On a NASA research base in Silicon Valley, there's an organization that's changing the world ... Singularity University (SU). Created by renowned futurist Ray Kurzweil and entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, with support from NASA, Google, and others, the university brings in some of the smartest students from around the world, and gives them a crash course in the most powerful exponential technologies on the planet. The students are then given a challenge: create companies that will impact a billion people within ten years. The film follows the students and their companies over five years, as they use the support of scientists, astronauts and billionaires in their attempt to make a dent in the universe.

In this cinematic adventure "Deception", critically unacclaimed director Drew Spooner showcases a classic story of good v. evil. Post-traumatic war veteran Johnny (Connor Shur Linnerooth) seeks revenge against the United States after a grave misunderstanding in Vietnam. Together with the help of his evil henchman (Alexander Gudding and Jake Hundley) they plot to launch an electromagnetic pulse across the nation to send America into chaos and take over the entire world. Only Nighthawk (zero-time Academy Winner Adam Boe) has the power to stop this madman through the use of sheer, brute force. With the help of his commanding officer known only as "Marine" (Reed Martin) as well as communications technician Stanley (Caleb Homuth), they train a co-op of elite soldiers and lead the team into one last battle to save America; to save the world.
