The video is her face. Her voice. Her laugh. It isn't her.

Sixteen-year-old Zoe Park is a robotics captain, a straight-A student and a candidate for student body president in a quiet Ohio suburb. Then she wakes up to find a video of herself saying cruel, hateful things about her friend Amara, and it's everywhere. She's suspended. Her friends turn away. Her parents' shop is flooded with hate. With help from her coding-obsessed teammate and her eleven-year-old brother, Zoe sets out to prove the video is a deepfake and find out who made it.
