In a dystopian future, the Hive is the answer to online anonymity.
If you cause too much trouble on social media, the Hive sends a crowd after you to teach you a lesson in real life. Cassie, a high school senior, has always believed the Hive was the right answer to trolls and doxxers. But when she posts an edgy joke, the Hive sets its sights on her.
 
Psst...need homework or testing help? Brainfuse has live tutoring hours daily from 10 AM - 11 PM.
