When Bristol teenager, Billie, falls into the seductive world of a radical online influencer who promises empowerment through acts of revenge, her transformation sets off a dangerous chain of events – with devastating consequences far beyond the screen.
Burnt-out from carrying responsibilities far beyond her years, Billie is desperate to be seen – until one doom-scroll leads her to Anakiss, a magnetic influencer preaching radical self-belief through small acts of revenge she calls “glimmers.”
When her online world begins to bleed into real life, Billie’s transformation sparks a dangerous chain of irreversible consequences.
With a pulsing pop score and a razor-sharp look at influencer culture, GLIMMER dives into digital radicalisation, exploring power, pain, and the price of being heard.
