Synopsis
The film takes place entirely in the bedroom of Casey Jacobs and happens in real time.
One evening, Casey is listening to music but finds her Spotify settings are being tampered with. While Skyping with her best friend Megan, who is about to go on a date, Casey learns that her ex-boyfriend, Nathan, has posted a cruel comment on Twitter about her use of anti-depressants. Megan confides in their friend, Alex, and suggests that he hack Nathan's account as revenge, but he declines. After Casey and Megan end their chat, Casey receives an instant message, ostensibly from Alex, who provides her with a hacked link to Nathan's Twitter account. Casey eagerly posts a tweet about Nathan's erectile dysfunction as revenge. However, after she notices that the type of language the messenger is using is not the sort that Alex would use, Casey realises that the messenger is an anonymous hacker.
