A father and son arrive to San Francisco Bay Area after an earthquake leveled their small town in Armenia. At odds over his father’s complicated infidelity, Andre, angry and bitter, quickly gets involved with a group of violent jewel thieves led by his father’s boyhood rival, Cyrus. Revenge is the only way out and redemption is no where to be found.

When the search engine he designs answers “yes” to the question “is the government of the United States evil?”, a brilliant computer programmer is arrested and held in isolation. Desperate, but keenly aware of the answer’s potential effect on the public, the programmer strikes a deal with his interrogators, agreeing to re-design the software in exchange for his freedom. As they search to understand why the program answered an ethical question and try to find a way to change its response, the faith and patience of both the programmer and his captors are put to the test. Suspenseful and darkly comic, S.E.R.P. is a film about coercion, innovation, and whether it is possible to do something good in the service of something evil.
