Cam 2018

Alice Ackerman is a camgirl who streams provocative shows on a platform known as FreeGirlsLive, adopting the persona “Lola_Lola.” Her singular focus is to ascend to the coveted number one rank, currently held by the camgirl “BabyGirl.” Despite her thriving online career, her mother remains blissfully unaware, believing Alice is simply engaged in web development work. Only her younger brother, Jordan, knows the truth and has promised to keep it a secret, even while encouraging Alice to eventually reveal her profession to their mother.

During one fateful live broadcast, a shadowy user pushes her to perform increasingly sinister acts, ultimately leading Alice to stage a suicide on camera, creating chaos in her ranking. This shocking act catches the attention of a loyal viewer, Tinker, who later reveals that he had masterminded the encounter with the intent to boost Lola’s popularity. Their conversation exposes the complications of their online relationship and hints at Tinker’s personal struggles.

As Alice navigates her online fame, she encounters Fox, another camgirl, with whom she contemplates an outrageous idea for a “control show” that involves intense intimacy. Meanwhile, her standings fluctuate dramatically due to the arrival of a rival camgirl, Princess_X, whose stringent policies contradict Alice’s provocative methods. Tinker’s calls become a source of both comfort and distress for Alice, especially as he tries to urge her into a greater friendship, complicating the already intense pressure she feels.

Alice’s journey spirals further when she discovers an imposter live streaming as her — an eerie double who creates chaos and threatens her identity. Attempts to report her account to customer service bear no fruit, leaving Alice more confused and threatened by the virtual version of herself. In a moment of desperation, she seeks the help of her friends, only to find her claims dismissed as paranoia.

The tension escalates as Alice’s personal life intrudes upon her online world. A critical moment arrives during her brother’s birthday party when her mother inadvertently discovers her profession, leading to a heartbreaking confrontation. As Alice grapples with her identity and public persona, she witnesses the fraudulent Lola performing degrading acts that spill into her real life and affect her family.

In an act of bravery, Alice devises a risky plan to confront the duplicate Lola directly. A battle of wits ensues as Alice attempts to reclaim her online identity, going so far as to orchestrate a live showdown that risks everything. The struggle culminates in a dramatic clash of authenticity versus imitation, culminating in Alice’s victory as she successfully deletes the impostor account.

The film concludes with Alice’s mother preparing her for another stream, yet this time Alice is equipped with a false identity, ready to create a new account named “EveBot.” With the past behind her, she steps into the spotlight once more, determined to navigate the struggles of fame and identity in the digital age.
