A high-stakes thriller that weaponizes social media and mob justice to explore the dark potential of online democracy and collective moral failure.

An unidentified man posts a live feed on social media showing that he has kidnapped two strangers and intends to kill one before the day is out. His intention is to hold a capital 'trial' online. As the authorities recognize what's happening, it becomes apparent that the online public is going to act as judge and jury.
