A married, middle-aged man lies about his age online to chase a girl he thinks is eighteen. But he's not the only one catfishing. The girl he thinks is eighteen isn't exactly who she says she is either. And when a real young man comes into the picture, the whole thing turns into obsession, threats, and eventually murder.
