The mysterious high school disaster scorches the building and leaves several students dead. Laura Sedgewick questions the sole alive witness, Alex, as the present-day investigation unfolds. The narrative slides into flashbacks that gradually reveal what really happened.

In detention after being caught cheating, Alex meets Jack, Carla, Ricky, and Cameron. The four form a reckless pact to hack the school computer and alter their grades to bury their failed records. Fear of exposure hangs over them as they weigh the risk against their futures.

The group carries out the hack and rewrites their grades, celebrating what they believe is a clean slate. For a moment, they savor their supposed freedom from the consequences of cheating. The victory, however, is shadowed by an ominous online presence watching them.

An anonymous figure called Brittany Tammand begins blackmailing each student with progressively bolder demands. The fear of exposure intensifies as the tasks become riskier, and the truth about Brittany’s supposed suicide raises questions who is behind the torment. The students grow paranoid and distrustful of each other.

Tensions rise as Ricky suggests Jack may have played a role in Brittany’s death. The group starts turning on one another while trying to uncover the tormentor. The pressure drives them toward desperate choices in an attempt to survive.

In the present timeline, Jack lies in a hospital bed, severely burned, muttering Brittany’s name over and over. The line between reality and manipulation blurs as ‘Brittany’ becomes a symbol of their collective guilt. Laura and the principal watch with growing dread.

Flashbacks reveal their science teacher, Mr. Faustin, as the mastermind behind the blackmail. He witnessed Cameron hacking the system and exploits the fear of exposure to extort money. The plan tightens as the students realize even their closest allies might betray them.

Desperation pushes them to steal money by exploiting the school's online accounts. They coordinate a scheme with fake IDs to funnel funds into the school account, hoping to buy safety from Faustin. The stakes rise as Faustin’s demands become more chilling.

Cameron confronts Faustin, triggering a gunfight in which Faustin shoots Carla and Cameron and Jack is wounded. The confrontation confirms the situation has spiraled beyond control. Laura and the principal discover that the stolen money has vanished from the school account.

Alex receives a message revealing that all stolen funds have gone into her own account. A video addressed to the principal exposes Brittany faking her death and Jack manipulating Brittany while involved with Carla. The revelations pull at the threads of the case and unsettle every assumption.

Laura learns that Alex is actually Brittany in disguise, reframing the entire case. The attorney discovers Brittany used the money to shoot her classmates and manipulated others to fuel her plan. The truth fractures the narrative, exposing a web of lies and revenge.

Jack dies in the hospital, marking the collapse of one central player in the revenge plot. The remaining revelations show how deeply the deception runs through the group and the teacher. The film closes on Laura racing after Brittany, a warning with unresolved questions.

The final scene lingers on the unsettled truth behind who controlled events—the students, the teacher, and the spiraling guilt. The chase and the last image leave a chilling sense that some secrets are too dangerous to uncover. The story ends on an ominous note as Laura pursues Brittany.
