             Nev is a photographer in NY and he’s come into Facebook contact with 8-year-old Abby in Michigan and her family. A documentary is, for no explained reason, started about this friendship, which grows quickly, especially between Nev and Abby’s mother Angel and her older sister, Megan.

       It’s all fake and Nev feels duped, because he is. He and his friends, the film makers, go to Michigan to confront Angela, who has made everything up. She gets all teary, she has a tough life and Nev forgives her.

       I’m left with a big ‘Huh?’ But it’s oddly interesting.
