Když se vyznáte a máte peníze, pořídíte přes internet cokoliv: drogy, zbraně, porno, ideologie, výsledky voleb, dokonce i život a smrt. Špičkový hacker Azi Bello je osamělý vlk, pracuje sám na sebe a nikomu se neodpovídá – jenže jeho komfortní online existence se drsně střetně s reálným světem, když jeho pečlivě hlídané soukromí naruší tajemná Munira s prosbou o pomoc: její bratranci se nechali naverbovat k teroristům, a když se pokoušela o tom něco zjistit, všimli si jí jistí velmi nebezpeční lidé. Azi a Munira se nechají zatáhnout do temné konspirace, jejímž srdcem je Gomora: nepřístupné internetové tržiště, kde lze sice sehnat ledacos, ale kde také číhají ti nejšílenější světoví zločinci.
