A journalist adopts a false online identity to infiltrate ISIS recruitment and report back on the dangers of digital radicalisation. Filmed entirely through screens, messages, and video calls, the film is a taut, claustrophobic Screenlife thriller that pushes suspense through code, chats and notification alerts. As the online relationship with the recruiter intensifies, personal risk and professional ethics collide, revealing how reality can be manipulated in the digital age.
