Dedo and Carlotta Klatt, who are desperate to find their missing daughter Wanda, take matters into their own hands, co-opting their son Ole and items from the dark web to start spying on their own town. The discoveries lead them to learn many of the town's hidden secrets, many of which have nothing to do with the whereabouts of their daughter. [2]
