The premise
Set in a near-future world where there is no privacy, ignorance or anonymity, our private memories are recorded and crime almost ceases to exist. In trying to solve a series of unsolved murders, Sal Frieland stumbles onto a young woman who appears to have subverted the system and disappeared. She has no identity, no history and no record. Sal realizes it may not be the end of crime but the beginning. Known only as 'The Girl', Sal must find her before he becomes the next victim.
Horror Vault's take
In a near-future society where every citizen's memories are recorded and anonymity is all but extinct, detective Sal Frieland encounters something the system was never built to handle: a woman with no identity, no history, and no trace. As he pursues her through a world of augmented reality and digital omniscience, the hunter begins to wonder whether he is the one being hunted. Andrew Niccol's cool, cerebral thriller probes the terrifying cost of a world that traded privacy for safety — and what happens when that bargain breaks down.
