The premise
Michiko lost her dad in a car accident when she was 10 years old. After the car accident, Michiko has lived with her mother Kyoko. Michiko, now in her 2nd year of high school, gets a cell phone from her mother as a birthday present. Michiko is so excited to have her very first cell phone. Soon afterwards, she is forced into joining social networking site "AvaQ" by classmate, and queen of the classroom, Taeko.
Horror Vault's take
When a grieving high school girl receives her first cell phone, she's pressured into joining a popular social networking site by the reigning queen of her class — and what begins as ordinary teen drama quickly takes a far darker turn. Avatar taps into the anxieties of Japan's digital youth culture, weaving a cautionary tale about the sinister side of online connection. As Michiko's virtual world deepens, the boundary between her screen and reality begins to blur in deeply unsettling ways.
