Black Mirror meets Stieg Larsson in Views, a compulsive thriller that explores the toxic relationship between technology and humanity, and the fallout after unthinkable lines are crossed. Sixteen-year-old Lena Palmer has gone missing when a violent video of her assault by masked men goes viral. Yashira, chief inspector at the German FBI, has been put in charge of the case. As a single mother of a sixteen-year-old girl herself, Yashira is deeply affected by the crime and swears she will do everything in her power to find Lena Palmer. Surely the video must contain clues. Who are these people? Why would they commit such a horrible crime? Together with her partner Michael they follow all the usual suspects. Lena's father. Her boyfriend. Her friends. Nothing in this case seems to follow any of the usual patterns. Far-right groups are quickly taking matters into their own hands. Yashira is running out of time, but it feels like she's chasing a ghost.
