Overview

In this documentary fiction, the disappearance of an aspiring teenage content creator sets off a chain of events exposing the rotted core of digital fame. After being held by a corrupt policeman, the teen is rescued by an idealistic officer who begins a deep-dive interrogation into the months the boy was missing. What starts as a quest to expose police corruption evolves into a meta-investigation of the content creation industry. Through high-stakes interviews with "big shot" influencers, the film unearths the harsh psychological toll on young creators, exploring the wreckage of their academic lives, families and romances. However the narrative takes a visceral turn into the underworld, leading to a "Godfather" figure running a horrific syndicate that processes human remains to be sold as meat. As this syndicate moves to infiltrate the film industry, the cycle of "torture" begins anew, shifting the lens from the struggles of digital creators to the dark secrets of the silver screen.
