Danni works a photo editor at Depravity, an online magazine. She actually wants t o be a writer and above all, she wants to be noticed and matter - to her colleagues and even her family. 

Amidst this struggle, she comes up with a lie that she will be attending a writer retreat in Paris - just to impress her co-worker, Colin who is a social media influencer. 

When Colin follows her on Instagram, Danni determines to continue with her lie. As a photo editor, she started taking pictures and edited them so that she looks like she is attending the retreat in Paris. 

She posts an edited photo of herself in front of the Arc de Triomphe and goes to sleep. Without her knowing, minutes later, several major Parisian landmarks, including Arc de Triomphe was bombed. 

She wakes up to a huge increase in her following and lots of DMs and messages asking about her safety. Not one to stop midway, Danni continues with her lies and claims that she witnesses the bombing. She even fakes her 'returning' from Paris and manages to get her picture taken by a newspaper at the airport as 'one of the survivors'.

Now she is famous. She gets attention from everyone and she wants to continue  to enjoy the popularity. She even gets to hang out with Colin, who later have sex with her in a club  toilet. 

To continue the facade, she attends a trauma support group and befriends Rowan, a school shooting survivor and a teenage anti-gun activist who also has a huge social media following. 

Inspired by Rowan, Danni writes about her 'experience' and starts the motion of #IAmNotOkay. When Rowan reshares her articles, her followings increases and now she is super famous. 

Meanwhile, Harper, a jealous colleague of Danni, feels skeptical about Danni's experience. She uncovers the edited photos in Danni's laptop and confronts her about it.

Danni decides to come clean and publishes an apology online, sharing the whole truth. And in a matter of seconds, the whole world knows and she is now an online pariah. 

Rowan hates her and wants nothing to do with her anymore. 

Can Danni recover from the downfall?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.7/ 5.0 Bravo! The plot is simple but somehow it hits differently as it tells  the truth about today's trend of fame and popularity. 

The extend people would go to be famous and how many are hurt along the way - that's the premise of the movie.

Popularity without substance seems to be on the rise nowadays - so please educate the young ones that no amount of followers could ever bring you happiness in real life.

Cast: 4.5/ 5.0 Young and engaging and they delivered.

Will I Watch It Again: I don't mind watching it again.

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
