Meet Nina, a vivacious and witty young woman with a flair for pulling pranks. She thrives on the thrill of her mischievous games, always pushing the boundaries of humor with her lighthearted tricks. Nina runs a popular YouTube channel where she films her pranks, attracting a massive following who adore her carefree attitude and the fun she brings to life. Yet, beneath the laughter and the pranks, Nina is a complex individual, someone who enjoys the attention and excitement that her antics bring but often feels detached from deeper connections.
One day, while shooting a prank video in a busy city park, Nina spots her next target a tall, aloof young man sitting alone on a bench, completely absorbed in his book. His name is Leo, a quiet and reserved guy who often goes unnoticed by those around him. He’s the kind of person who blends into the background, someone whose shy nature makes him appear almost invisible. But there’s something about his demeanor that catches Nina’s eye. Maybe it’s the way he’s completely unaware of the world around him, or perhaps it’s the challenge of trying to get a reaction out of someone so seemingly indifferent.
Nina decides to approach Leo, pretending to be someone in distress, asking for help with a fake emergency. As she expected, Leo is hesitant at first, his natural shyness making him reluctant to engage. But as Nina persists, with her voice softening and her eyes wide with feigned concern, he eventually agrees to help. Little does he know, the entire interaction is being filmed, with Nina’s hidden camera capturing every moment.
To her surprise, Leo’s response is more heartfelt than she anticipated. He listens carefully, offers comfort, and even goes out of his way to assist her, despite his evident discomfort in social situations. For a moment, Nina feels a pang of guilt, seeing how genuinely he seems to care. But the thrill of the prank, and the need to entertain her audience, overpowers her second thoughts. As soon as Leo realizes he’s been pranked, his expression shifts from concern to confusion, and then to a hurt that Nina has rarely seen in any of her previous targets.
Leo, however, isn’t just hurt—he’s intrigued. For years, he’s lived in the shadows, surrounded by people who barely noticed him, with fake friends who never really cared about who he was beneath his quiet exterior. But Nina’s prank, her sudden attention, feels different. In his mind, he begins to twist her actions into something more something genuine. She must have seen something in him, he reasons, something that made her choose him over everyone else in that park. And for that reason, she must care for him, even if she doesn’t realize it yet.
What Nina doesn’t know is that Leo’s quiet, introverted nature hides a much darker side. Beneath his shy exterior lies a deeply possessive personality, one that borders on the obsessive. His past has been marred by betrayals and loneliness, leading to a psyche that is both fragile and dangerously volatile. As he begins to follow Nina’s online content, watching video after video of her pranking others, his feelings of affection quickly turn into something more sinister.
When Leo finally realizes that Nina’s interaction with him was nothing more than a prank, and that she does the same with countless other men, a deep-seated rage begins to build within him. His possessiveness kicks in, and the line between love and obsession blurs. In his mind, Nina belongs to him now, and no one else has the right to even look at her, let alone be the subject of her attention.
Leo’s dark thoughts spiral out of control, and he starts to plan ways to keep Nina for himself permanently. What began as a light-hearted prank soon turns into a dangerous game, with Nina completely unaware of the storm that’s brewing just beneath the surface of Leo’s shy smile.
As Leo’s obsession deepens, Nina continues her pranks, blissfully ignorant of the monster she has awakened. But as the days go by, she begins to notice strange things happening around her anonymous messages, unexpected encounters with Leo, and a growing sense of unease. The prankster is about to become the prey, and she has no idea just how far Leo is willing to go to claim what he believes is rightfully his.
