Le film aborde la question de la surveillance de masse et son degré d'acceptation par la population résumé par l'argument « je n'ai rien à cacher ». Le fil rouge du documentaire est une expérience d'espionnage volontaire mené sur Mister X, jeune comédien vivant à Berlin. Avec son accord, les métadonnées de son ordinateur et de son smartphone sont récoltées durant un mois à l’aide d’un logiciel espion, puis analysées par des chercheurs. Cela afin d'illustrer le fait qu'il est alors possible d'extraire de nombreuses informations personnelles à partir des services en ligne, réseaux sociaux et applications mobiles (Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.). Cette expérience est entrecoupée d'interventions de lanceurs d'alerte, hackers ou victimes de la surveillance.
