From first-time feature filmmaker Oscar Boyson (POWER SIGNAL, CIFF 2023) comes a thoroughly audacious coming-of-age story that fearlessly explores the impact of social media and American gun culture on modern adolescence through an incisive yet blackly comic lens.

Hoping to impress an activist classmate, wealthy teenager Balthazar “Balthy” Malone (Jaeden Martell, LOW TIDE, CIFF 2019; KNIVES OUT) begins posting emotional videos on social media pleading for stricter gun laws. His tearful clips soon attract the attention of an online troll who claims he is planning a school shooting. Acting on impulse, Balthy heads to Texas to try to prevent the tragedy and meets fellow lost soul Solomon (Asa Butterfield, HUGO, SEX EDUCATION). Together, the two boys from vastly different worlds must navigate a confusing set of misunderstandings, both absurd and terrifying.
