A man who appears to be heavily intoxicated staggers aimlessly across a busy square in Lisbon city centre. Before the police can intervene, the man collapses and dies in hospital under mysterious circumstances. A few days later, a young woman loses consciousness in a gym, is thrown from the treadmill and also dies shortly afterwards. And she is not to be the last victim... When Chief Inspector Carina Andreia da Cunha and her team come across the first clues, it quickly becomes clear to them that they will not make any headway in this case without outside help. With the support of a specialist assigned to assist them, they discover a harrowing world marked by suffering, deprivation, sacrifice, but also hope. A case that does not stop at their private lives either. 'Remote-Controlled' is the fifth part of the crime series 'In the Shadow of Santa Justa', set in Lisbon. As well as a gripping case, there is once again plenty of information about the small capital on the Tagus.
