Seven young friends set out on a road trip. One of them, a social media influencer, decides to record everything... What begins as trivial content soon turns into a nightmare captured second by second.
Now that footage is at the center of a murder trial, and it reveals a truth far darker than any follower could imagine. In the court of law and the court of public opinion, the deadly line between judicial evidence, confession and entertainment begins to blur.
