About

In a near-future state ruled by the Method, neuroscientist Mia Holl defends her brother after he is accused of murder.

In the near future, a state system known as the Method puts public health and safety above all else, and surveillance shapes everyday life. Mia Holl (Hannah Herzsprung) is a neuroscientist who supports the system and works with her colleague Christiane Bülow (Haley Louise Jones) on a technique for reading patients' thoughts. Her brother Moritz Holl (Damian Hardung) views the Method with suspicion and meets others who share his doubts. When his DNA is found at the scene of a murder, Moritz is arrested and charged. Mia is convinced of his innocence, although the evidence against him appears strong. Among those around her are the journalist Heinrich Kramer (Alexander Fehling) and her brother's lawyer Lutz Rosentreter (Christian Friedel).
