How do you escape someone who’s always one step ahead?

Ryan Lamb captures the raw side of city life through the lens of his camera. But when someone starts sending him tip-offs about incidents involving the emergency services, he is lured into a deadly game.

Soon, his gritty photos of fires, car crashes, and street brawls have skyrocketed his career. Then a new message directs him to the scene of a violent armed robbery before it has taken place.

With the police closing in, Ryan realises he’s been manipulated by a sinister presence who knows everything about him and his girlfriend, Carla. Now the two of them must find a way out before they lose everything, including their lives.
