At the same time, two young girls are attracted by the thrill of exploring the most dangerous corners of the Internet – the Darknet. They witness a very nasty event that seems to have connections to Leona. As Leona unravels her father’s disappearance, a shocking family secret is exposed. At the same time, Leona is under heavy pressure as she herself is suspected of the most serious crime in the law book.
