A cerebral dystopian thriller about a woman's awakening to systemic injustice when her brother is wrongly imprisoned, exploring themes of control, truth, and resistance.

In the near future, the “method” controls the health and freedom of society. The life of neuroscientist Mia Holl, who is loyal to the system, changes abruptly when her brother Moritz Holl is wrongly accused of murder and imprisoned. In the fight for truth and justice, Mia begins to question the system and becomes the hunted herself.
