What is The Billion Dollar Code about?

The series tells the story of two individuals who were the true creators behind an invention that we still use to this day: Google Earth.

Having been ripped off and not given the proper accolades for their achievement, the pair wish to sue Google for their wrongdoing and receive credit where it is very much so due. However, being that Google is the powerhouse that it was (and still is) back then, this site is not going down without a fight, thus beginning an epic showdown between two immovable perspectives.

"In 1990s Berlin, an artist and a hacker invented a new way to see the world. Years later, they reunite to sue Google for patent infringement on it."

The cast of this original series features The Grey War actor Björn Freiberg as Interpreter, Seumas F. Sargent as Eric Spears, Lukas Loughran as Brian Anderson, Dan Cade as Matt Boyd, and The Silent Revolution star Leonard Scheicher.
