This documentary showed me what some people are capable of doing. It was centered around Nev and his internet friendship with a little girl named Abby It was filmed by his brother and his brother's business partner. They first got in touch after Nev took a picture that got featured in a magazine, Abby then sent him a painting of the photo that he had taken. After th at they became friends. Nev would take pictures and abbey would paint them. Abby was a really good painter and her mom told Nev that her painting were selling for a lot of money. Intrigued by their friendship Nev's brother decided that he wanted to document what their friendship was like.

It starts super innocent. Then he start talking to Abby's sister Megan and they kind of started to have a romantic relationship. One night she asked him to give him suggestions for a song that she would write him one. After she was done they discovered that the song that she said she wrote for him she didn't actually write it, or any of the other song that it said on her page that she wrote.

After they found this out they decided that they should see how much Abby' family had been lying to them. They discovered that the art studio that Abbey's mom said she owned was just an abandoned building. After finding this out they decided that they would drive up there and see what was actually going on. During the road trip New started to have doubts and his brother told him he can stop whenever he wants to. They all agree to keep going,because they all  wondered what exactly they had been lied to about.

The first place they went to is Megan farm. When they get there they collect the mail, which included the mail they sent to her. They drive up to the barn and Nev looks in. There aren't any horse like Megan said there was. After they figure it out they decide to leave and start preparing for the next day.

When they arrive at Abby's house the next day her mother Angela answers the door. She doesn't look anything like the picture that is on Facebook and neither does her husband. She also tells them she has cancer. There are also two other children in the house that Nev and them didn't know about. They tell them that Abby isn't there, but at a beach house and that Megan isn't there either.Later on they all go to the beach house. Abby is there but doesn't seem to really know who any of them are.  After talking to Abby and her friend they learn that she hasn't seen Megan in a long time.

After they learn this they figure out that Angela is in love with Nev and also the person that he has been talking to this entire time. They confront her the next day and she does tell them the truth.She tells them that she has made a lot of different facebook acoounts. She also admits to being the one who New has been talk in to this entire time. While she is drawing him she tells him that she feels bad causing him so much pain. When she is done they leave.

Later on he gets the drawing in the mail. We then find out the Anglea didn't have cancer. She deleted all of the fake Facebook accounts. She now has one of her own with her own picture. Nev is one of her friends on Facebook. We also learn that she now has a website where she sells her art.

If something like this ever happened to me I'm not sure what I would do. I don't think that I would be able to forgive them like New did. If I did forgive them I'm not sure if i would ever be able to trust them really. I don't think anyone should ever lie and say they are someone they are not. The documentary showed me that people are capable of doing so many different things.
