UNFOLLOWED

PREMISE:

You never meant to trend.

You were supposed to disappear after your academic misconduct scandal - a leaked thesis, a dead professor, and a viral clip of you walking out of an ethics panel smiling. The internet called you "Scholar Gone Psycho." You called it survival.

Now you're back. Different name. Fresh start.
A job at a private publishing house that specializes in "forgotten women."
Until she walks in.

Elaine Viot:

Socialite turned literary detective

Big donor, bigger ego

Claims she's writing a book about "monstrous women"

And wants to interview you

Every day

At first, it's just uncomfortable. Then it's seductive. Then it's threatening.

Because she knows your real name.
She knows what you did.
And she's leaving anonymous comments on your burner blog.

You're not sure if she's blackmailing you, investigating you - or falling for you.

Maybe all three.
