Deep Trouble

Erica (Kyler Quinn) receives an explicit video on her mobile, only to discover that the woman in the clip appears to be her friend, Hazel (Ziggy Star). The video is convincing, but Erica can't believe it's Hazel, knowing she would never engage in such actions. Later, an emotionally distraught Hazel arrives at Erica's house, vehemently denying that the woman in the video is her, which confirms Erica's doubts. It becomes apparent that the video has been doctored. Moments later, Erica tries to soothe Hazel, who is on the brink of a mental breakdown. They discuss the situation further and come to realize that others at their school have also been victims of manipulated videos. Erica theorizes that the same individual is likely behind all of them. When they attempt to identify the culprit, Hazel suggests someone proficient in technology. This gives Erica a clue, but she doesn't disclose her thoughts to Hazel. Days later, Erica visits her best friend Janey's home and knocks on the door. Janey's older brother Brian (Alex Jett) answers, informing her that Janey is out. Erica, however, is there to confront Brian, so he invites her in. In Brian's bedroom, Erica reveals her purpose: she believes he is the one creating and uploading the fabricated videos, and she demands that he cease and remove the existing ones. Brian initially denies the accusation but ultimately confesses. It transpires that his victims are individuals who have mocked him, including Hazel. It's apparent that these people have made his life unbearable. However, Erica reminds him that their ridicule doesn't justify his actions. Brian declares he won't stop creating the videos but assures Erica he won't target her because she's been kind to him. Erica then proposes a deal: she offers to sleep with Brian if he removes the videos and refrains from making more. Brian agrees, and they engage in passionate, exploratory lovemaking.
