This episode depicts what could quite possibly be the perfect crime. Blackmailing people into committing crimes for you by exploiting their deepest darkest secrets and demanding your compliance.
Here we meet Kenny, a young man who has a dark secret. After a hacker records him flogging the bishop to child porn Kenny is forced to break the law to keep this video from getting posted to the web. It doesn't take long for Kenny to find out he isn't alone. This hacker has blackmailed others, giving each a job to do. No one knows what any of the others have done only that they are linked through the blackmailer to commit crimes to keep their secrets. After Kenny is forced into a fight to the death he tries to end his own life only to find out that the gun is empty. When Kenny finally escapes the woods he receives a phone call from his mother, upset to find out what her son has done because the hackers, after everything they forced Kenny to do, released the footage anyway and the police are swarming the area to take him into custody.
