Locked down and COVID-positive, Miriam, a positivity influencer reaches out to Jo, a former friend and journalist. Jo’s newly released book references a thinly veiled account of high school bullying by Miriam, and Miriam, locked in a high rise apartment with her COVID positive mother, finds her carefully built up and hugely popular cyber profile not just disintegrate but turn into a cyber hate onslaught. Gripping, poignant and alarmingly relevant in millenial-speak.
