Betrayed at 17

Lexi is a kind, hopeful teen whose world is shattered by a reckless bet and a viral video. She becomes central to the social storm that follows, enduring humiliation before a tragic car accident cuts short her life. Her memory drives her family to seek justice and accountability for those involved.

Greg is a charming but impulsive teen who initiates a reckless bet with his friends, using Lexi for a secretive thrill. He denies wrongdoing when questioned, later facing consequences for engaging with a minor. His actions catalyze a chain of events that culminate in tragedy and legal trouble.

Carleigh is Greg's ex and a driving force behind the video's spread; she ruthlessly seeks revenge and uses manipulation to frame others. Her impulsive choices lead to violent confrontations and grave consequences, including a self-inflicted injury and mounting criminal exposure.

Shane is Lexi's older brother who carries a deep grudge and pushes for harsh consequences against those he sees as culpable. He faces legal scrutiny but ultimately finds a path toward forgiveness and pursuing higher aims, like college, after the truth is revealed.

Michelle is Lexi's mother, determined to honor her daughter's memory by pursuing justice. She collaborates with Brenda to uncover the truth, challenging authorities and searching for concrete evidence to exonerate Shane.

Jared is Carleigh's ally who participates in the scheming and the spread of the video. He witnesses key moments and becomes entangled in the aftermath as the investigation unfolds and loyalties shift.

Brenda is Greg's mother, who teams with Michelle to uncover the truth and protect the community's youth. She confronts the consequences of her son's actions and supports the pursuit of evidence that could prove Shane's innocence.

John is Shane's father, involved in the family’s broader struggle for truth and accountability. He supports his son while navigating tensions with others in the community and helping coordinate responses to the escalating crisis.
