Lukas sources low-rez video to the newsfeeds. In the near future, attending demonstrations has become the most popular pastime. When the demonstration turns violent (and they usually do), Lukas is there to record it. He has worked hard to build a reputation for producing quality clips. That reputation and his willingness to be in the fray are his primary assets.

One morning, he discovers that his hard-earned digital reputation is worthless. In that moment, he realizes that he is both unemployable and a social outcast. Could it be related to the girl he met the night before, or to the abduction of another low-rez producer that he happened to record at a demonstration?

Lukas is trying to figure out how to solve the mystery, when he meets Kim. She is stubborn, pushy and difficult to be around. Unfortunately, she won’t go away because she needs to solve the mystery as well, for completely different reasons. Kim lives in a world of data and algorithms. Lukas prefers climbing on buildings and playing in traffic. Together, they must discover the cause of Lukas’s destroyed reputation because people keep disappearing.
