Omnibus 1

Crime Next DoorWhen a Catfish Kills
Episode 1 of 8

Cimarron and Violet are from the USA. Ivy is from New Zealand. All the girls are 12 years old when they are befriended online by ‘Chloe’. But Chloe is not who she says she is.

When ‘Chloe’ starts messaging other teenage girls on social media she is friendly. Fun. Interested. Soon she sends explicit photos, and asks her new friends to send some back. That’s when she changes and the blackmail begins. Because ‘Chloe’ isn’t a real girl. She’s a catfish. And her depraved demands have fatal consequences.
