“You told a lie, which is an ironic entrance into a study on morality and ethics.”

An Anonymous Girl, coauthored by friends Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, is a cat and mouse psychological thriller about a girl who lies her way into a study on ethics and morality.

Jess is admitted to Dr. Shield’s study as Subject 52 and led to a cold and empty classroom. There’s a laptop on a desk in the front row with instructions for completing a series of personal questions on morality. Jess’s hand hovers over the return key before finally pressing it and irrevocably changing the course of her life.

Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt?

Who is Dr. Shields? Why does Jess feel drawn to the doctor and obligated to answer each question so honestly? As the questions become more personal and the stakes begin to escalate, Jess finds herself in way deeper than she could have imagined.

Should a punishment always fit the crime?
