action

The film begins with a flashback to the later culprit's childhood in 1988 in Alabama, USA. The overweight, clumsy and shy boy is chased by two pretty girls and runs away in fear of them. The two friends can finally put him in a barn. They make fun of him, mock him and get him to undress. When he stands in front of them without underpants, they laugh at him. Bitter, he pushes her away and runs away crying. A little later one of the girls drives alone through the forest and gets scared because she has the feeling that she is being watched. Suddenly the boy stands in front of her at a bridge and stops her bike by sticking a stick in the spokes. She was seriously injured in the fall. When she is immobilized on the ground and begs for mercy, he first throws her bike off the bridge and then pushes her afterwards with his foot. The fall ends fatally and her lifeless body lies next to her bike.

Years later, now a grown man, the perpetrator logs into a webcam page where women can be observed through several cameras in a large villa. He watches them and takes a liking to Kylie, a young student. One day when Kylie cannot be seen in the house at the usual time, he asks the Devon flat share about her whereabouts. Annoyed by this, she insults him and bans him from the chat. When he asks the other residents about Kylie's whereabouts, he is mocked by them too. Shortly afterwards, he discovers a photo of himself that he had previously sent to Kylie, smeared with insults, hanging on a pin board. Overwhelmed by his anger, he decides to take revenge for the humiliations. He disguises himself in a mask and breaks into the house after he has thwarted all security functions. He overpowers the manager and manager of the girl house, steals his control unit over the entire house and kills the security. Broken into the house, he begins to torture, physically disfigure and kill the young women. A viewer and friend of Kylie is watching what is happening on his PC, but cannot do anything because he does not know the whereabouts of the house. Even the police are powerless here. He asks his friend to hack the page to find out the whereabouts of the house and in the meantime goes to campus to get more information about the location. A roommate gives him a crucial tip and they drive to the house together. Meanwhile, Kylie manages to set a trap for the psychopath and kill him. Shortly afterwards her boyfriend, the police and the reporters arrive. The film ends with Kylie asking her boyfriend to keep the reporters away because she no longer wants to see cameras.
