In the quiet suburban town of Meadow Creek, the blossoming romance between high school sweethearts, Lauryn Licari and Owen McKenny, is brutally disrupted by a relentless barrage of anonymous text messages. What starts as harmless teasing quickly escalates into vicious cyberbullying, targeting their deepest insecurities and threatening to expose long-buried secrets.
