Hannah is 23 en loopt stage bij een duur sieradenmerk. Als ze tijdens de London Fashion Week een zekere Kin ontmoet, raken ze bevriend. Hij is een grote speler in modeland en opent allerlei deuren voor haar. Maar dan krijgt Hannah rare berichten. En daar blijft het niet bij. Algauw wordt haar hele leven beheerst door haar stalker, die elke stap die ze zet lijkt te kunnen volgen. Wat ze ook probeert, hij weet haar overal te vinden en niemand kan iets doen. In het huiveringwekkende Stalked zoeken Hannah en BBC-verslaggever Carole Cadwalladr, die ook haar ex-stiefmoeder is, naar de dader.
At 25, Hannah’s life begins falling apart. An anonymous intruder has made her phone her enemy. Aided by the technology we all rely on, this intruder is watching Hannah, threatening her, even pretending to be her. Feeling increasingly unsafe, Hannah goes to the police, but they can’t stop it. Worse, they don’t even recognise it for what it is: stalking. Hannah doesn’t know for sure who is behind it all, but she suspects an older man she met more than two years earlier at London Fashion Week. Initially, he claimed to have been hacked. Even today, he disputes stalking her. To make sense of what’s happening Hannah turns to a woman she’s known since she was seven years-old, and who also happens to be an investigative journalist. Together with her “ex-step mum” Carole Cadwalladr, they set out to piece together something the police couldn’t: the true identity of Hannah’s stalker. Doing so means untangling a web of deception spanning continents. On her suspected stalker’s trail, Hannah realises nothing about them is as she first thought.
In a leafy suburban town in England, we find traces of Kin. Here, people know him as David. And the descriptions we hear of David bear few similarities to the Kin Hannah remembers.
