Premise

edit

The series begins when Aleksandra, a part-time Uber driver, witnesses the murder of a young woman. The police seem apathetic about the case, believing it to be a suicide. So she seeks help from a group of amateur investigators known as Ultraviolet (UV), so called because violet sees more than blue (meaning the police). The members of UV communicate though the internet and use computer related technology to obtain clues; each member having their own area of expertise. Aleksandra joins UV and the series follows her as she and UV solve crimes that the police are unable to handle. Meanwhile, the police actively try to restrict UV's activities.
