Influential by Amara Sage tells the story of Almond, who is thrust into the spotlight, having been a perfectly filtered presence in social media since before birth. Her mother has documented their family through social media from the very beginning, and as a result, Almond's family enjoys all the rewards that come with such influence.

However, this is not the life Almond would have chosen for herself. Constantly being on a platform has made her anxious and insecure. As the darkest side of the internet begins to haunt her, Almond feels as though she is on the verge of losing everything.

If only Almond could see that she has a real life too, one full of friends and family who love her. It is this real life that holds the potential to save her.
