The movie begins with Elizabeth logging into a social media site known as "The Den". It is revealed that she is doing this for a project and her goal is to chat with as many strangers as possible. However, things become grim when she starts a chat with someone whose webcam appears to be broken. After having random chats with her, the webcam somehow turns on and a woman is seen being murdered. Throughout this time, Elizabeth's account has also been continuously hacked however she does not realize this. Her friends try to convince her it is a hoax but she remains unconvinced. She asks a friend of hers to hack the account and find out where it is being operated from, but it ultimately doesn't work since the signal is coming from too many locations to be found. Though Elizabeth had contacted the police about the murder, they do not believe her and she remains helpless. Once her boyfriend mysteriously disappears, she panics and calls the police once again. They check his apartment but find it completely empty. Another one of Elizabeth's friends is then shown getting a message from Elizabeth (though it is obviously not actually Elizabeth, as she is with the police). The message tells her friend to come over and she is then shown to be abducted just like Elizabeth's boyfriend. Elizabeth becomes more and more frantic after receiving a message showing a close up of her sister's home and an unknown figure entering it. She calls her sister and tells her to leave, but is too late and her sister and her unborn baby's life is threatened. The attacker then leaves but later returns posing as a police officer. Elizabeth leaves with an officer and contacts her sister once she reaches her apartment to tell her that she will be back with her soon. As Elizabeth is packing she receives another message showing the head detective getting murdered and then another one of her and the inside of her apartment. She goes to open her closet where a hooded figure is, she stabs him repeatedly and flees from her apartment. To her dismay, she is attacked yet again. She later awakens in an unknown building and is chained to a wall. There is a computer in her room on which she receives a video of her boyfriend. He informs her that there are more of them and then is murdered. After overpowering another hooded man in her room she attempts to escape and realizes there are multiple attackers. After finally getting out of the building, she steals a car from one of the attackers but then crashes. Another woman is then seen on the same site Elizabeth was on. She comes across Elizabeth's account where she witnesses Elizabeth being murdered. The scene then cuts to a man putting his credit card number into a site to watch more videos of murders like Elizabeth's but quickly closes the browser when he is interrupted by his young son.

Frankie, a black female gogo dancer, unknowingly suffers from dissociative identity disorder, caused by a traumatic incident from her childhood (the death of a white man she was in love with, and her mother murdering her newborn when she realized the child's father was her white lover), which she has repressed. The film begins with Frankie performing at a local strip club. She is one of the best strippers at the club, and often demands the attention of wealthy Wall Street businessmen. One night the club's female employees go out for a "Girls Night". As the girls observe all the men at the bar, Frankie gets the attention of a well-known bartender. She agrees to go to his home for casual sex. Before the two can engage in any sexual activity, Frankie switches to an alter ego and cracks the man's head open with a picture frame. Word of Frankie's violent activity spreads to the strip club quickly, and Frankie is fired from the needed job. The same manic episodes occur while Frankie is at the laundromat and a wedding. During a session with the psychiatrist Frankie learns that she has two alters: Genius, a seven-year-old child; and Alice, a Southern white racist woman, whom Frankie struggles to overcome. Through regular psychiatric sessions with her doctor, she begins to recall the traumatic events that led to her split personality. She realizes that a white man with whom she was in love died in a car accident while they were on the road. In the same session, she also uncovers the memory of the birth of her child. Moments after the birth, her mother realizes that the child is half-white and takes it away to kill it, thus triggering her personality to split.

He decides to team up with his Uncle Dave, a slovenly con artist turned doomsday cult leader who owes the US government over a million dollars in back-taxes. With the help of Uncle Dave's right-hand man Richie and an army of big-breasted, scantily clad cult members, the Dude devises a plan to hijack a shipment of 2,000 Krotchy Dolls, a rare, sought-after plush toy resembling a giant scrotum. Uncle Dave plans to sell them online, where their prices have reached as high as $4,000 a doll.
