When she is targeted by a rival tech firm for software code in her head, a closed off data courier with a photographic memory must finish her latest delivery to survive. Only problem: For some reason, she can’t remember ever accepting the job.

Knightrider,

I think there might be an opportunity to do a ?version 2.0 of the Johnny Mnemonic story, but I also think the core concept needs to be upgraded to reflect current technology. ?(IMHO: one reason the movie version of William Gibson's story didn't play well as a movie was because ?by the time the movie was made, technology had advanced such that it undermined the premise.)

It seems to me that any new version must justify its premise by addressing the question: ?in the ?age of ?the Darknet, TOR, and 2048-bit key cryptography, why would fallible, vulnerable humans be used as mules to transmit mission critical data (for legal or illegal purposes) stored in their "wetware"?

fwiw

I would also re-word the ending, since it seems like not remembering accepting the job is actually the least of her problems.
