Adam and Ben are playing video games at Adam's house when Adam's girlfriend Chloe calls. Adam doesn't answer right away. Later, when Adam calls Chloe back, she seems more interested in talking to Ben while he is there. Adam becomes suspicious that Chloe may be cheating on him with his best friend Ben. He messages Chloe's friend Samira, who warns him not to trust Chloe. The next day, Adam confronts Chloe at her house and discovers Ben is there, leading to a fight between Adam and Ben.
