Synopsis

After David Kim (John Cho)'s 16-year-old daughter goes missing, a local investigation is opened and a detective is assigned to the case. But 37 hours later and without a single lead, David decides to search the one place no one has looked yet, where all secrets are kept today: his daughter's laptop. In a hyper-modern thriller told via the technology devices we use every day to communicate, David must trace his daughter's digital footprints before she disappears forever.

Editorial

Why Eltorama recommends this film

A father searches for his missing daughter entirely through her devices. Most of the film is screens, but the screens contain dozens of calls, FaceTimes, and voicemails that drive the plot. The most rigorous screenlife thriller yet made.
