French series ‘Stalk’ is coming to C4 Streaming courtesy of Walter Presents in October.
The series stars Carmen Kassovitz, Théo Fernandez and Pablo Cobo. It is created by Simon Bouisson, Victor Rodenback.
Lucas, aka Lux, an 18-year-old computer genius, enrolls at the ENSI national school of computer sciences, one of the world’s greatest engineering schools and home to the elite. At the first party organized by the Student Association, he is humiliated by the most popular students on campus. Shy and hung-up, he is the perfect fall guy for the class. The next day, a video of him shot by the sophomores under the guidance of Alex, the good-looking president of the Student Association, clocks up 700 views in just seconds. Lux immediately becomes known as ‘Pee-Pee’.
To get his revenge, he uses his talents to hack into the connected devices of his enemies – phones, computers, webcams and mikes. And also those of Alma, a fellow student he has fallen for and who is hooked up with… Alex.
Lux is a brilliant student. Although he makes an impression on Herzig, the ENSI’s star professor, he does not have all the social talents needed to be popular and achieve his dream. He works as a bike courier to make ends meet and lives in a dorm.
Alex, Samir and Lolo soon realize his coding gifts and persuade him to develop an apparently above-board app, which they will actually use to sell drugs on campus. The app is a dream tool for Lux: it provides cover for his stalking. Hacking the connected devices of the Student Association group and the people around them, he is rapidly able to neutralize their business. He gets even with Alex, who is excluded from the Student Association and then the school, and takes his nemesis’s place in the share house.
Soon, he knows all his enemies’ secrets. He is a master of the game and even manages to hook up with Alma. Everything is going perfectly for him.
But not for long. A rumor circulates on campus: a mysterious stalker is on the prowl, delving into the private lives of all the students. Paranoia spreads across the campus and everybody begins to mask their cams and mikes with tape to protect what little privacy they have left.
The most important thing for Lux is to avoid losing Alma now he has got together with her IRL. But in a reversal of fortune, he finds himself played by the very people he thought to humiliate…
Walter Presents: ‘Stalk’ Season 1 & 2 will arrive on C4 Streaming on 25th October 2024.
