Season 1
When we first meet Elliot, we see that he has a hard time connecting with other people. In his free time, he hacks people to bring justice but also hacks his co-workers, friends, and therapist too in an attempt to find a way out of loneliness[2]. For most of his adulthood, Elliot has had unreconciled vengeance against the company E Corp. This is because he believes they are responsible for a leak from a power plant in his hometown, resulting in his father getting cancer and eventually leading to his death. One night on the subway, Elliott meets this man who only goes by "Mr. Robot" who takes him to an arcade called "fsociety". There, he meets a few hackers who are planning to take down E Corp. "The single biggest incident of wealth redistribution in history", as they describe it. The main idea of the hack is to encrypt all of E Corps financial records as well as destroy their backups. Once the encryption is complete, the encryption key will self-delete, making it impossible for anyone to recover the data, essentially removing all the debt owned to them. In collaboration with another hacker organization based out of China called, "Dark Army", Elliot and his team eventually carry out the hack, throwing the world into chaos and gathering cheering crowds throughout the city.
