The film revolves around the harrowing story of Joseph Markham, a CIA scientist played by Ryan, who uncovers a sinister plan involving a nano chip capable of controlling the human mind, according to an Ox Films press release sent to Folsom Times. Faced with the dilemma of choosing between saving his wife or the entire human population, Markham embarks on a thrilling journey filled with danger, suspense and a profound exploration of technological ethics.
“When I started writing ‘Art of Deception,’ the concept of neural nano chips was more science fiction than reality. They are rapidly becoming a reality with companies like Elon Musk’s Neuralink and Blackrock’s Synchron. These incredible technological advancements make the narrative of ‘Art of Deception’ even more compelling and timely for today’s audience. I am very appreciative and grateful to those with whom I have been able to share the creation of ‘Art of Deception,’ and I am inspired and excited for what is yet to come,” shared Ryan.
