An all-star award-winning cast in a thriller about evil, revenge, technology, and today’s world in which privacy doesn’t exist anymore.

Piotr Adamski, co-writer and director of the widely acclaimed EASTERN, presents a hugely anticipated adaptation of a bestseller, considered as the Polish answer to Stieg Larsson’s famed „MILLENIUM”.

In our daily lives we are all surrounded by hundreds of electronic devices. We know that, but are we aware that almost each of them is someone’s eyes and ears?

Julita Wójcicka, a young journalist, is investigating the mysterious death of a TV celebrity. She concludes that what the police dub an unfortunate accident is in fact a perfectly planned crime. Every step she takes brings Julita closer to the discovery of the truth and puts her in mortal danger. Someone watches her constantly, knows her most shameful secrets and is ahead of each move she makes. In order not to become the next victim of a mysterious killer, Julia must infiltrate a network of cyber connections and reveal secrets that may be best kept hidden.
