“No one is lost without a trace.”
Searching unfolds with the disappearance of David Kim's daughter, prompting a conventional police investigation that yields no immediate results. Frustrated by the lack of progress, David turns to his daughter's digital footprint, a realm of secrets and clues hidden within her laptop. This shift from the physical world to the virtual one amplifies the emotional stakes, as David navigates social media, emails, and chat histories to unravel the mystery of his daughter's whereabouts.
