## Plot

High school student Laura Barns commits suicide by gunshot after an anonymous user uploads a video of her passing out and defecating at an unsupervised party, and the video goes viral. One year later, her former childhood best friend Blaire Lily is chatting with her boyfriend Mitch Roussel on Skype, during which they agree to lose their virginities to each other on prom night. Soon after they are joined by their friends and classmates Jess Felton, Ken Smith, and Adam Sewell, and an unknown user known as "billie227."

The group of friends tries various ways to get rid of the intruder but are unsuccessful each time. Blaire looks up the account and realizes that it belonged to Laura Barns, revealing "billie227" as Laura. The group suspects that a classmate, Val Rommel, is pranking them. After they invite Val to their chat, Jess' Facebook page is updated with embarrassing photos of Val at a party. Jess denies uploading the photos and deletes them from her account, but the pictures instantly reappear on Adam's account. Val calls 911 to report that she is being harassed, then abruptly leaves the chat. The group receives a photo of Val and Laura's messages from before Laura's death, with Val telling Laura to kill herself. Val rejoins the chat, sitting still next to a bottle of bleach before collapsing. Police officers arrive shortly after, and they eavesdrop and deduce that Val died from a presumed suicide. Ken distributes a program to remove "billie227" from the chat, and Adam attempts to call the police. However, the 911 operator turns out to be the intruder and re-enters the chat, revealing a camera view from the other side of Ken's room. He approaches the camera source and his Skype is briefly cut before it shows him killing himself with a blender.

Laura forces the remaining four friends to play a game of Never Have I Ever, stating that the loser will die. Jess reveals she started a rumor that Blaire had an eating disorder, Blaire stole and crashed Jess' mother's car, Mitch had made out with Laura (and then threw her off since it was one-sided on her side) and reported Adam to the police for dealing cannabis, Jess stole $800 from Adam and Adam offered Laura to trade Jess' life for his. A drunken Adam finally loses his temper and uses the game to force Blaire to reveal that she is no longer a virgin, having slept with him twice behind Mitch's back. Mitch retaliates by forcing Adam to admit that he roofied a classmate, and then forced her to abort the resulting pregnancy. Blaire and Adam receive messages sent remotely to their printers which they refuse to show to Mitch and Jess. Mitch threatens to leave if Blaire does not show the note and Laura warns that Mitch will die if he signs off. In a moment of panic, Blaire shows her paper which states: "If you reveal this note, Adam will die." Adam shoots himself, revealing he had the same note, except it was for Blaire.

Laura continues the game, asking Jess if she defaced her grave. When Blaire convinces Jess not to continue playing, Laura cuts the lights in Jess' house and disconnects her video feed. Blaire looks for help on Chatroulette and has a stranger in Nevada send police to Jess' house. Soon after, Jess' Skype reconnects showing her with an activated curling iron forced down her throat, killing her.

Laura cuts the lights in Blaire's and Mitch's houses, wanting them to confess who uploaded the video. Blaire tells her that Mitch was the one who posted it; Mitch grabs a knife and stabs himself in the eye. Laura thanks Blaire, but begins counting down again. Blaire attempts to remind Laura about their friendship, but Laura uploads an extended version of the party video to Blaire's Facebook which reveals Blaire as the camera operator for the original video. Her Facebook friends leave angry and disgusted messages before Laura's spirit slams Blaire's laptop shut and violently lunges at her.
