"Social Suicide" is a teen thriller loosely based on "Romeo and Juliet" that examines the extreme lengths teenagers will go to get noticed on the Internet today. After two teenagers die and one is in a coma, police interrogate Balthazar while seeking their prime suspect. But while the police wade through masses of footage: CCTV, "Jackass"-style stunts, vlogs, vines, memes, Snapchats, and mobile uploads, Balthazar plots to escape from custody so he can rescue his best friend before it's too late. "Social Suicide" serves up suspense, thrills, drama and romance while the audience is kept guessing until the very end. But more importantly, "Social Suicide" is a film with heart and gives this classic tragedy a very modern twist.
