She and the motley group of coworkers operate in a cottage industry of firms that review damaging and offensive images and videos posted on social media. With detached caution and a deranged sense of humor, they examine millions of posts that are “flagged” to be reviewed.
But one violent video catches Dailsy’s attention, enticing her out of the office, away from the safety of her keyboard, and into a world full of danger as she frantically seeks to hold someone accountable.
