A dark, paranoia-soaked mystery about online mob violence and culpability that grapples with the blurred line between collective guilt and individual responsibility.

A woman is attacked by Internet users after posting provocative remarks online. Using her personal information, they go to her place but what they find is her body; she took her own life. Who made her kill herself? Or, was she killed by someone else?
