Copy, Save

"Casey"

Solitary teen Ani (15) is intensely devoted to her glamorous older sister, Casey (18). But when Ani stumbles on Casey's fake, AI-generated OnlyFans-like account, she's unsettled to discover Casey has cloned the voice of a real woman for the persona. Ani, however, has her own internet side hustle. As the girls test their boundaries online, they're drawn into the murky morals and strange thrills of hypercontemporary digital life.
