LOGLINE
A secret agency helps people vanish without a trace – discreetly, illegally, and permanently. But when its boss, Shade, rescues a woman from her violent marriage, her own buried past resurfaces, and the agency’s fragile house of cards begins to collapse.
SYNOPSIS
Who has never dreamed of disappearing? A radical cut, new name, new identity and no going back. This is exactly what Ghosting makes possible, an agency for anyone who wants to leave the old life behind for good. It is run by Shade, a slightly over-the-top ex-witness protection officer in cowboy boots, who knows more than she says and feels more than she shows. At her side: the cool hacker Pera, with whom she has a complicated love affair, and Aaron, two meters of muscle mass with a soft core.
Each episode shows a new case, a world of its own: an Italian butcher facing conversion therapy; an arrogant violinist accused of sexual abuse; a lottery winner on the run from his criminal family. The team immerses itself in these microcosms, camouflaged, stationed somewhere on a campsite in Germany, always ready to go. Everything goes well ... until it doesn't. Because when a case touches on Shade's own past, the agency begins to falter and the shadows of her past catch up with her.
Ghosting is a neo-noir with a northern German charm, cynical anti-heroes and New German Wave synths in the rain and wind. A series about self-realization, freedom and the question of whether you can really disappear and start again. Or whether the real obstacle lies in the fact that you can never completely escape yourself?
