PEOPLE TO FOLLOW

A reality show on a secluded Caribbean island. Ten teen influencers. One dead body.

Welcome to "In Real Life," the hot new reality show that forces social media's reigning kings and queens to unplug -- and live "in real life." IRL is supposed to be the opportunity of a life- time, watched closely by legions of loyal followers. But for these wannabe Insta-moguls -- in- cluding Elody, an Instagram model with an impulsive streak; Kira, a child star turned fitness influencer; Logan, a disgraced TikTok celeb with a secret; and Nate, a YouTuber famous for exposés on his fellow creators -- it's about to turn into a nightmare. When the producers fail to show up and one of their own meets a violent end, the nine remaining influencers find themselves stranded with a dead body and no way to reach the outside world. As the body count begins to rise, they realize that they've been lured into a deadly game... and one of them might be pulling the strings. With a storm approaching and cameras tracking their every move, the creators must figure out who is trying to get them canceled -- like, literally -- before their #1 follower strikes again.
