TOOTSIE X THE RUNNING MAN

After a terrible media frenzy, Tom Hallstensen, a virulent "incel", is willing to do anything to escape his detractors. A shockingly topical story.
Leaving hateful, racist, and misogynistic comments on the internet? That's one of Tom's favorite hobbies, a sharp-tongued forty-something who hides behind a pseudonym. While he thought he was untouchable behind his screen, his latest victim, a famous stand-up comedian, displays one of his messages on television. With a single click, Tom suddenly becomes public enemy number one on social media and tries to disappear from the radar in a very bizarre way... A powerful thriller full of twists and turns that tackles one of the most problematic excesses of our modern digital societies, unleashing a wave of emotions as vivid as they are contradictory.
