To help promote the new missing person mystery, Searching, Sony Pictures has published a viral mobile website to draw viewers into the tech-heavy thriller, which is told entirely through phone, tablet, and laptop screens. You can view the site at FindMargot.com, but you’ll need to be on a mobile device to get it to work as intended.
After David Kim’s (John Cho) 16-year-old daughter goes missing a local investigation is opened and a detective is assigned to the case. But 37 hours later and without a single lead, David decides to search the one place no one has looked yet, where all secrets are kept today: his daughter’s laptop. In a hyper-modern thriller told via the technology devices we use every day to communicate, David must trace his daughter’s digital footprints before she disappears forever.
