Synopsis: 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. When the foursome successfully infiltrate Don’s cryptocurrency wallet, they believe they’ve pulled off the perfect crime – until Lindsey calls Kyle with an ultimatum. As the stakes escalate, what begins as a thrill-seeking stunt spirals into a dangerous game with consequences these four friends never anticipated.
Inspired by true events, LifeHack follows Kyle and his crew of digital Robin Hoods who hack scammers and steal from the people the internet loves to hate, all for the comfort of their bedrooms. But when they go after a notorious crypto billionaire, their biggest cyber heist forces them into a world where payback is no longer virtual. LifeHack stars Georgie Farmer (Wednesday), Yasmin Finney (Heartstopper), Roman Hayeck-Green (Sex Education), content creator James Scholz, and Jessica Reynolds (Kneecap, Outlander).
