Alex is a mother of twin 12-year-old girls from her first marriage and is happily married to Patrick, a successful money manager who also appears as a regular contributor on the local news. Her Instagram account "Unapologetically Alex" has grown to one million followers based on her well-received platform of speaking about women's issues with positivity and honesty. As she works to monetize her new fame, Alex hires AC (Anna Claire) as her personal assistant. After a night of celebration and too much drinking with her husband and assistant, Alex awakens to thousands of disgruntled followers who are shocked by her most recent post bashing the behavior of a former Disney star calling her horrible things. Alex's fans quickly turn against her. Their posts elevate to threats against Alex and her family. And while the situation gets out of control, Alex is convinced that she didn't write the post. The only person who also had access to her account was assistant AC, who has disappeared.
