A contemporary and culturally resonant drama about a young programmer, Elliot, who suffers from a debilitating anti-social disorder and decides that he can only connect to people by hacking them. He wields his skills as a weapon to protect the people that he cares about. Elliot will find himself in the intersection between a cybersecurity firm he works for and the underworld organizations that are recruiting him to bring down corporate America.
I don't remember a scene where it is shown but in S04E07 a character shares a memory where this happens to them. Another character mentions it again later in the same episode.
Abduction in the trunk of a car, shown as black image with the sound of driving and the passengers's unclear chattering for at least one minute I think in S04E07
