Watch True Friend

True Friend is a drama series that premiered in 2020. The show centers around the character Emma, a high school student who seems to have it all - she's popular, gets good grades, and has a picture-perfect family. However, Emma has been keeping a dark secret from everyone around her. Since childhood, she has had an imaginary friend named Clare who she talks to and relies on for support. Clare has helped Emma through difficult times and has been her confidant.

As Emma enters her junior year of high school, her life begins to unravel. She gets caught cheating on a test, her boyfriend breaks up with her, and her parents announce they are getting a divorce. Emma feels more alone than ever and leans heavily on her friendship with Clare. But when new student Lucas arrives at school, he starts to pull Emma out of her isolation. Emma finds herself opening up to Lucas and starting to share parts of herself she has always kept hidden. This makes Clare jealous as she sees her influence over Emma slipping away.

Strange events begin happening around Emma. Her possessions go missing, messages appear warning her away from Lucas, and she starts having nightmares about Clare hurting her. Emma realizes that Clare may not be the helpful, kind friend she has always imagined. As Emma tries to sever ties with Clare, the occurrences around her become more disturbing. Emma confides in Lucas about her lifelong attachment to Clare. While skeptical at first, Lucas decides to help Emma confront her demons, both real and imagined.

Emma must figure out if Clare is truly her friend or if she is manifesting something more sinister. Does Clare really have Emma's best interests at heart or has their connection become unhealthy and dangerous? Emma will have to confront the parts of herself she has long kept buried with Clare's help. She must find the strength to face the truth about her only confidant even if it means accepting she may have created Clare out of her own isolation and pain. Emma learns she must rely on new friends, like Lucas, to move forward.

True Friend explores the powerful bonds of friendship and how unhealthy attachments can take hold, especially when someone feels alone. Through Emma's story, the show examines how we can overcome our deepest hurts by embracing authentic connections and our true selves. With suspense and a touch of the supernatural, True Friend takes audiences on Emma's emotional journey of exposing her vulnerabilities, facing her fears, and finally trusting in the truth that she is enough, imaginary friends aside.
