Riassunto

A thriller about the power of technology to weaponize our darkest instincts.

A brilliant loner, Etta Baldwin, 17, has been surviving in the underground of Berlin since she fled from foster care four years ago, using her self-taught computer skills to support herself. She has a favorite café where she works, and she sleeps in abandoned buildings throughout the city.

When the charismatic Lulu walks into her life, Etta lets her guard down and goes with Lulu to meet her “family.” The V live in a derelict amusement park, where father-figure Milan provides all the guidance and care his followers need. Etta finds acceptance and love, and lends her hacking skills and deepfake manipulations to the group’s subversive activities.

But as violence and chaos spread because of the manufactured reality created by her videos, she starts to question Milan’s true intentions, and the allure of the V begins to wear off. 

With the world tumbling toward war, Etta tries to stop the juggernaut she has created . . . and finds herself in the crosshairs of the people she had come to think of as family.
