Seventeen and in love, Sophia Armitage has the world at her feet. Until her father starts acting weird.

Why would a man who's never shown an interest in social media create a secret Facebook page and start talking about moving south?

As her life begins to unravel, Sophia's convinced her father's involved with an online catfish. She and bad-boy heart throb, Dane, set out to stop Edgar making one of the worst decisions of his life but when he puts the family home up for sale, they realise it might be too late.

Taking a car without permission, the teenagers head to the southern city of Palmerston North to hunt down the woman manipulating a vulnerable man. But they don't find what they expect and instead, discover the difference between fishing and phishing first hand; destroying their own relationship in the process.
