M. P. spends his evenings in Metropolis, a virtual world, where a young woman calling herself Katy Perry tells him that a stranger named Angelo Freund has threatened to kill her boyfriend. In the real world the same night, he stumbles on a Facebook post about a girl pushed naked out of a moving Audi into the snow. He cannot say why, or whether the girl even exists, but he decides to find her, and the only lead is the witness who posted the story under the name Angelo Freund. The hunt takes him from the virtual city through social media to the dark streets of a failing city, in a cyber-noir where people are no longer killed but deleted.
