Synopsis:

If you try to shut down. If you try to switch off the router. If you leave the room. Your pictures go online. Maisie Williams gives an outstanding, critically acclaimed performance as Casey Jacobs, a troubled teenager battling against a malicious and terrifying cyber stalker. When Casey discovers her laptop has been hacked she assumes one of her school friends is to blame. In fact, the teenager has fallen prey to a sophisticated hacker who now has access to her anonymous posts and private selfies. Most disturbing of all, the perpetrator has taken control of Casey s webcam, and is watching her every move! But why has the Cyberbully chosen her, and is Casey Jacobs as innocent as she seems? The Cyberbully is a gripping real-time thriller from BAFTA-winning director Ben Chanan (Our World War, The Plot to Bring Down Britain s Planes), Executive Producer Richard Bond (Blackout) and multi-award winning company Raw TV (The Imposter).

Whilst Skyping her friend Megan seventeen year old Casey Jacobs sees an upsetting tweet from ex-boyfriend Nathan and decides to get revenge by hacking into his Twitter account, helped by her new online friend, computer geek Alex. However it soon becomes evident that Alex is not her friend and is not only much older than he claims but a sinister avenging angel who accuses Casey of starting online messages which resulted in the suicide of another girl Jennifer Li. Unless Casey atones for her own cyber-bullying he will post embarrassing photos of her on the Internet and harm her father and Megan. Casey now has to find a way to outwit him.

How far will you go to protect your life, Casey is facing every teenager's worst nightmare, as an anonymous hacker plans to leak her private photos to the public through the Internet. She races against time in order to end the stalker's plan and save her identity.
