Teenage boys being goofballs, doing stunts, recording their antics to post on-line and collecting followers. One of their group inexplicably takes a toy gun to a police station and starts pointing it at people. The police, as expected, shoot him. Since this is the world we live in, there are a bunch on people with nothing better to do than to hang around in front of the police station. They all have their smartphones and somebody manages to record the shooting. Since our guy, a scruffy old police detective, is the shooter and the video gets posted online, he attracts a sizeable following, and as you might expect, most of it is negative.

The detective's estranged daughter is also posting videos or herself wearing a mask and making predictions. It's all full and games until she starts predicting deaths and the deaths start occurring. And wouldn't you know it, the guys who are turning up dead are the original goofballs we started with.

The investigation goes round and round but eventually we start getting some clues, and they all point to a car crash that you could blame on our goofballs. I wouldn't blame them, but the driver does, and when he has a second crash immediately after the first one and his pregnant wife is killed, he embarks on a complicated course of revenge that involves forcing the daughter to make the predictions and then fulfilling those predictions.

Only at the very end do we find that the second crash was caused by errant bullet fired by another cop while harassing a druggie, and goofballs weren't really the problem at all.
