Description
In this dark satire of pop culture, a wealthy yet parentally neglected teenager aches for attention, desperate for meaningful relationships. In his search, he befriends a new student at his school--a manipulative Mephistopheles-in-training. He soon spirals into chaos and violence, struggling to win out over the confusions and terrors of the modern world: the constant demands of mass entertainment, consumer culture, and technology.
