When an online flirtation turns bad, Josie goes from being titillated to terrified. Her dream of romance turning into the nightmare of sextortion. Soon she is embroiled in a web of deceit which can barely hold together her suburban life. A rollercoaster of a comic thriller. Written by Sarah Cartwright
