Synopsis
Lana is thrilled with how her senior year is going. Her best friends Marissa and Jane are always by her side, her mom Marianne is so supportive, and she just got a prized scholarship to her dream school Stanford! On a dare from Jane, Lana joins an online chatroom where she meets a boy called James. They soon begin texting every day, much to Marianne’s concern. But then, things go from great to terrible. Lana is followed home from school by a mysterious figure, sent threatening texts, and rumors are spread around school. Because of the pressure, Lana’s grades slip, putting her scholarship in jeopardy. Marianna encourages her to cut off contact with James, who she’s sure is the culprit. But when Lana tracks down James, determined to put a stop to his attacks on her, she finds out that he doesn’t exist. It was a fake profile all along. Lana and Marissa start looking into the mysterious James, but when they do, things only get worse. Lana is attacked in her car, just barely escaping, and Marissa is even put in the hospital! Marianne, fearing for her daughter, realizes that there’s something much more sinister going on than a simple catfishing. Finally, Lana discovers the true culprit is Jane; she was the runner-up for the Stanford scholarship. She was hoping to just drop Lana’s grades enough to disqualify her, but once Lana got closer to the truth, she had to scare her off. And now, she’s willing to kill to cover up her secret, and it’s up to Marianna to save her daughter.
