LifeHack is a high-stakes cyber-heist thriller built for the digital age. Kyle and his three friends spend their time gaming and pranking online scammers with their hacking skills. Eager for a real challenge, Kyle persuades them to target billionaire Don Heard by exploiting his daughter Lindsey's overshared social media presence.
