He becomes convinced that a British man who lives opposite him is responsible for the disappearance of a Couchsurfer. It further becomes complicated when the foreigner starts a relationship with his grandniece. As he tries to uncover the truth he also is confronted by the change in culture from one of people trying to keep their private lives secret, to one where people are sharing their every move publicly.
