A reality show on a remote Caribbean island. Ten teen influencers. One dead
body.
Welcome to "In Real Life," the hot new reality show that forces social media's
reigning kings and queens to unplug for three weeks and "go live" without any
filters. IRL is supposed to be the opportunity of a lifetime, watched closely by
legions of loyal followers. But for these rising stars - including Elody, an
Instagram model with an impulsive streak; Kira, a child star turned fitness
influencer; Logan, a disgraced TikTok celeb with a secret; and Max, a
YouTuber famous for exposes onhis fellow creators - it's about to turn into a
nightmare.
When the production crew fails to show up and one of their own meets a
violent end, these nine little influencers find themselves stranded with a dead
body and no way to reach the outside world. When they start receiving
messages from a mysterious Sponsor threatening to expose their darkest
secrets, they realize that they've been lured into a deadly game. . . and one of
them might be pulling the strings.
With the body count rising and cameras tracking their every move, the
creators must figure out who is trying to get them canceled - like, literally -
before their #1 follower strikes again.
