Plot

Socially inept media geek Archie Williams becomes the most visible kid in school when he announces he's going to kill himself on camera for his final video class project. As word spreads, Archie's classmates, parents, the most beautiful girl in school, Sierra, and a "Shady Bunch" of teachers, shrinks, doctors, pill-pushers and counselors bombard him - some hoping to save him, some wanting to imitate him, others trying to push him over the edge.

Archie films it all, pointing his incisive camera at the realities of life, death, violence, sex, money, drugs, music and media overload. Archie rants with comic accuracy, interweaving documentary footage with his narrative, graphically revealing what teens love and hate, do for kicks, and secretly hide within their souls.

Archie is subjected to systematic testing, counseling, labeling, and religious bombardment, all of which he faithfully comments on with his sardonic wit and media wizardry.

Then there's the untouchable Sierra, the most popular girl in school. She is drawn to Archie, not because he's suddenly popular, but because she is hiding... living a dark secret.
