What is Nerve about?

Industrious high school senior Vee Delmonico has had it with living life on the sidelines. When pressured by friends to join the popular online game Nerve, Vee decides to sign up for just one dare in what seems like harmless fun. But as she finds herself caught up in the thrill of the adrenaline-fueled competition partnered with a mysterious stranger, the game begins to take a sinister turn with increasingly dangerous acts, leading her into a high stakes finale that will determine her entire future.

Nerve is a 2016 American techno-thriller adventure film directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, and written by Jessica Sharzer, based on the 2012 novel. The film stars Emma Roberts, Dave Franco, and Juliette Lewis, and revolves around an online dare game, which allows people to enlist as "players" or "watchers", and as the game progresses, the players are contacted and invited to participate in more dangerous dares than their prior ones.
