The Beginning

A Match. A Message. A Nightmare.

Dale Tilson's attempt to move on from a devastating breakup leads him to an online dating app—and straight into a trap he never saw coming. What begins as a promising connection becomes a fight for survival when he discovers his date is part of something far more sinister than he could imagine.

Across town, fifteen-year-old Jessica stumbles into the darkest corner of the internet, where she discovers a live-streamed world of violence that both horrifies and captivates her. But curiosity has consequences, and Jessica's obsession doesn't go unnoticed by those who operate in the shadows.

When their paths collide, Dale and Jessica find themselves caught in the web of Father Paul—a predator who orchestrates terror for an audience that craves blood. Trapped and desperate, they must make impossible choices while sadistic viewers watch and bet on their fate.

But escape is only the beginning of the nightmare.

Perfect for fans of disturbing psychological thrillers and dark suspense, Netted: The Beginning delivers a relentless exploration of online predators, obsession, and the depths of human depravity.
