Thirteen-year-old Benjamin is a highly skilled hacker, but also a teenager who is highly distrustful of others following the loss of his mother seven years earlier. Benjamin, who has never known his father, lives in a children´s home. One day he receives a visit from two men from the Danish Defence Intelligence Service who inform him that a woman they believe to be Benjamin´s mother was spotted by an airport surveillance camera several days earlier.
