==Plot==
In a future [[dystopia]], Aram Fingal, a [[programmer]] working for the [[conglomerate (company)|conglomerate]] Novicorp, is caught watching ''[[Casablanca (film)|Casablanca]]'' at his [[workstation]]. As a consequence, the company assigns him mandatory [[prophylactic]] rehabilitation, where subjects are "[[Simulated reality|doppeled]]" into wild animals to experience relaxation. Aram is sent into a [[baboon]] where he is monitored by controller Apollonia James. Aram begins to enjoy the experience until he is threatened by an elephant shaking the tree he is perched on. He activates an escape clause that is supposed to return his mind to his real body. However, during his doppel preparation, the routing tag on Aram's body was misplaced. When no one can locate his body, Aram's mind must be kept active by storing it in Novicorp's central computer, the HX368, which controls everything from finances to the weather. His mind can only be maintained in the computer for a limited time before it is destroyed.

Aram's disappearance is reported to a rival corporation. The news is broadcast worldwide, causing Novicorp's [[share price]] to crash. [[Shareholders|Majority shareholders]] force Novicorp's chairman to divert resources to keep Aram alive and find his body. Apollonia is assigned to locate his mind and keep him from hacking into Novicorp's mainframe. With Apollonia's help, Aram creates a virtual world where he encounters characters from ''Casablanca'', including a version of [[Humphrey Bogart]]'s character, Rick. However, Aram quickly grows bored, and eventually plots a way to bring down Novicorp's finances without being removed and killed. Apollonia tries to keep him out of trouble, even placing herself in opposition to Novicorp's leaders. She eventually, despite the [[conflict of interest]], falls in love with Aram.

With Apollonia's help, Aram is finally able to "interface" with the mainframe and defeat his antagonists. He also returns to his body, which is discovered just before undergoing a [[Sex reassignment surgery|sex change]] operation. Finally corporeal and reunited with his accomplice, Aram has taken complete control of the HX368. After ordering bonuses and stocks for every employee, committing Novicorp's chairman to a month of "compulsory rehab" via doppeling, and changing both his and Apollonia's identities to those of Rick and Ilsa from ''Casablanca'', Aram vows to fight the dystopian government. The film ends with the new couple walking out the door and, now free from Novicorp's oppression, talking about opening a club on the other side of town: Rick's Place.
