                              Synopsis
                              Jen receives a horrible message on her phone but then discovers it wasn’t meant for her. Nikita gets the same message and blames Ella for sending it. Amy is annoyed with Sinéad and her constant nuisance texting. Ellie and Lexie may let their overactive thumbs destroy their friendship while Angelica’s fondness for her phone may lead to a horrible misunderstanding and ruin friendships already formed. And Jess is there watching it all unfold and doing her best to remain friends with everyone in the group. But why did she
                              really have to leave her last school?

                              The play explores the pressures on teenage girls as they try to engage with their peers and form friendships based on trust.

                              This contemporary drama explores how the Smartphone can break so many friendships and hearts, and lead to so much trouble for a group of teenage girls.
