When influencers begin vanishing after a mysterious account post perfect versions of their lives, struggling creator Mae races to reclaim her identity as each fabricated post erases her real memories, before she becomes the next to disappear.

SYNOPSIS:

SYNOPSIS

Mae is a 20-something influencer struggling to gain traction in an oversaturated digital landscape where the line between reality and fabrication has completely dissolved. Desperate for followers, she manufactures the perfect life online but her modest following and authentic approach leave her perpetually on the margins.

Everything changes when a sleek, anonymous account appears using her name, her face, and her brand. But this doppelganger doesn't post Mae's real life, it posts an impossibly perfect version. Exotic vacations she never took. Designer clothes she never wore. A dream apartment she's never seen. The posts are hyper-stylized, flawlessly curated, and they're going viral.

At first, Mae assumes it's a cruel prank or identity theft. But as the posts continue, something far more sinister unfolds: her actual memories begin to shift. She finds herself recalling events from the fake posts as if they really happened. Photos on her phone change. Friends remember conversations that never occurred.

Mae discovers she's not alone. Across the city, influencers are vanishing, their last known activity being a sudden surge of perfect posts before they disappear entirely, some being killed on their own live stream by a person with a digital mask, wearing their face - their accounts continuing to post without them.

Desperate and running out of time, Mae must navigate a nightmarish reality where she can no longer trust her own memories or body. As her identity fractures between who she was and who the algorithm is remaking her to be, she uncovers a horrifying truth: there's something in the system, a presence, an AI, or something worse, that's harvesting authentic lives and replacing them with optimized versions, feeding off engagement and literally consuming people into content.

What happens when your life becomes the perfect post? You cease to exist.
