(4th revision) A vigilante hacker spies on a power-hungry corporation as they confirm reality itself can be manipulated like computer code, and finds herself in a race with them to leverage this power and stop them from controlling the world.
@sdanzig, I looked up Meyer's Book, "Off to be the Wizard". It is in the first instance a light comedy, then a fantasy, and last SciFi.

Scott Danzig, I looked up Meyer’s Book, “Off to be the Wizard”. It is in the first instance a light comedy, then a fantasy, and last SciFi. And I think that is where the confusion comes in with your story.
From what you previously posted, I thought you wanted to tell a serious SciFi story that explored the nature of reality. Meyer’s book doesn’t do that. It is a science fiction version of Twain’s? “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”. Those books work because they are humorous, light entertainment. For a moment of fun, people are wiling to suspend their disbelief to a far greater extent than would be for a thriller, because in a comedy all they ask for is laughs.
If you classify your story as a comedy, not SciFi, and make it funny enough, then people will laugh and forget the questions about who ultimately controls the computer. We accepted all kinds of nonsense in Men In Black, because it was first of all a comedy. That film would not have worked as a thriller.
If it was your intention all along to create a SciFi comedy, then I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I don't think the logline is quite right, but I love the concept. I could see that being a solid low-budget creature feature. Perhaps: When environmental activists raid a chemical testing lab to free the imprisoned animals, they find something far worse locked in the cages.
