As strange news continues to emerge, Lukas finds his digital identity continuously manipulated, arousing the suspicion of the German Federal Criminal Office (BKA), who accuse him of being a member of a terrorist organization. Even his wife (Alexandra Maria Lara) begins to doubt him. When his child is threatened, it is obvious to Lukas that he has to fight back. He allies with Lena Arandt (Karoline Herfurth), who is also a victim of the hackers. With her help he tries to find them and hunt them down. Who is behind the conspiracy? Why was he targeted?
