Another Body

Twenty-two-year-old engineering student Taylor gets a Facebook message from a friend with a link. She clicks. What she sees is her face, looking back at her, in hardcore pornography. Taylor has been deepfaked: her face has been pulled from her social media and digitally altered to appear in six porn videos without her consent. The creator has put these videos on a PornHub profile impersonating her, listing her real name, college and hometown, and soliciting men to hit her up.

Taylor is devastated. She doesn’t know who to trust, or what to do. She calls the police but they respond with victim-blaming and incompetence, and tell her that what this person did is not even a crime.

Then she learns a fellow student Julia has also been targeted. This means the culprit must be someone they both actually know —one of the disturbing, volatile characters on their male-dominated campus, where they have dealt with constant misogyny and serious harassment. Determined to uncover who did this, and why, , the women take the investigation into their own hands. They dive headfirst into the underground world of deepfake technology, discovering a society of men terrorizing women—celebrities, colleagues, friends.

They make an astonishing discovery. Eight more women that they know who have been targeted by the same guy. Only one person links all of these women: Mike, their former best friend, whose obsessive demands of their attention turned sinister. Mike, who goes by Krelish online, is one of the internet’s biggest deepfakers, whose deepfake accounts gain millions of views.
