Inspired by real events, Dark Play is the story of Nick, a cocky and articulate teenage boy who sets forth on an adventure in cyberspace. What begins as a harmless prank intended to test the gullibility of other internet surfers becomes a dangerous seduction with unintended consequences for everyone. Strong language and adult situations. Not appropriate for children under 16.
