15 year old school loser Alyssa Carter has never been listened to by anyone in her life.She had always been ignored by people at school, her "friends" left her when they were invited to hang with the popular clique, and is always getting made fun of for her spot in the San Diego High School marching band.
But on Sunday, Alyssa's last day of peace before 5 days of torment, she earns enough money to buy a camera. Scared of IRLs finding her videos, or the possible cyber-torment Alyssa fears, she records them, but doesn't release them. After she records her first 5 videos, which were all about her life.
After she's done recording, she goes down to the kitchen while it is importing to her laptop.. while there, her older brother, James uploads the videos to YouTube. The next day, Alyssa has become even more of a loser at school. Oblivious as to why her climb on the School Social chain has declined even more, she gets more and more notifications on her phone. She checks them, only to find out that the videos have gone viral!
