In a near-future society where all personal data is digitally stored and accessible, a brilliant but reclusive hacker discovers a hidden network containing fragments of 'lost media' – content that was officially deleted or never existed. As she delves deeper, she uncovers a conspiracy that blurs the line between digital reality and the truth, putting her own existence at risk.
