Captive

In a near-future Helsinki, society has collapsed into brutal zones. Janne, a former detective, is released from prison and searches for his daughter, who was taken by a shadowy organization during a chaotic event. He must navigate the dangerous city, confronting gangs and his own past, to reunite with her.
