In a whirlwind of youthful rebellion and cyber intrigue, "23" takes audiences on a thrilling ride through the world of computer hacking in 1980s Germany. Inspired by the novel "Illuminatus," orphaned Karl Koch and his friend David dive headfirst into the underground world of conspiracy theories and digital espionage. As they delve deeper into the realms of government and military computers, the stakes skyrocket and their actions catch the attention of some unsavory characters.

But when Karl's shady acquaintance Pepe sees the potential for profit in their illicit activities, the trio's escapades take a dangerous turn. With Pepe's connections to the KGB coming into play, the line between curiosity and criminality blurs, leading to a high-stakes game of cat and mouse that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. "23" is a gripping tale of ambition, betrayal, and the dark allure of the digital underworld that will leave you questioning where the line between right and wrong truly lies.
