An anonymous hacker has hacked all of Paris' cameras and observes the city unbeknownst to its inhabitants. Petty crimes and moments of stolen intimacy, he sees everything. Until the day that an explosion lays waste to the Gare d'Austerlitz. The police starts tracking down an Al Queda satellite group. The hacker succeeds in finding images of the explosion and discovers that it was a young couple who planted the bomb. Using the city's cameras, he decides to hunt down the criminals.

A chillingly detached gaze over a city under unseen observation. It feels like a digital phantom, watching the intimate and the mundane, until the city's pulse is violently interrupted. The paranoia is palpable, a constant hum beneath the surface.
