A new girl, Lia, moves to a small town for the summer while her mom recovers from a breakdown. She's bored, bitter, and avoids people-until she's added to a group chat by mistake.
The chat is called:
STRANGERGAME_5
It's an anonymous summer challenge started by a group of teens from the town.
The rules are simple:
No names. No photos.
Weekly dares (some fun, some risky)
One truth per week
Don't fall for anyone in the group
Lia decides to stay quiet at first... then joins in.
But the more they talk, the more real it all starts to feel. And someone in the group might not be a stranger at all.
