In a sterile office buzzing with the click of countless screens, a team of content moderators works under an unrelenting cascade of flagged posts. The space is governed by rigid quotas, a dictatorial manager, and the absurd presence of an alligator lounging in a man‑made pond—a surreal reminder that even the most controlled environments can harbor the unexpected. Within this digital grinding mill, every decision feels like a tiny act of censorship, and the invisible line between permissible and poisonous content is constantly redrawn.

Daisy spends her days sifting through the darkest corners of the internet, her job demanding a clinical detachment that clashes with the raw horror she witnesses. To cope, she leans on a volatile mix of sex, drugs, and alcohol, each binge a temporary shield against the insomnia and anxiety that gnaw at her nerves. The constant exposure erodes her sense of normalcy, leaving her isolated from coworkers and increasingly detached from the world beyond the glow of her monitors.

One particular piece of footage shatters the fragile equilibrium she has forced herself to maintain. Though never fully shown, its impact lingers, whispering of a violence that feels both intimate and mechanized. The image sparks a fierce, personal need to hold someone accountable—a drive that the corporate hierarchy and law enforcement dismiss as irrelevant or fabricated. Suddenly, the boundaries of her role blur, and the virtual hunt begins to feel like a real‑world pursuit.

As the line between online vigilance and personal obsession thins, Daisy is drawn deeper into a labyrinth where every click could lead to revelation or ruin. The film dwells in a mood of relentless tension, pairing the sterile efficiency of tech culture with the chaotic, unsettling undercurrents of a mind pushed to its limits. It invites viewers to contemplate how far one will go when the digital shadows begin to spill into the flesh of everyday life.
