[American high school, memoir, pseudo-incest, ensemble cast, read at your own risk]
An attention-addicted girl with mental health issues x a guilt-ridden, doting savior-complex brother
Inspired by: Euphoria and Mean Girls
Ash Hill High is a seemingly perfect suburban high school: clean, bright, and orderly. And they are the center of everyone's attention.
She transferred from Los Angeles, with an angel's face and a hidden urge to destroy herself.
He is the most popular football star, but saves all his tenderness for his "little sister."
She is the queen who was replaced, slowly losing herself amid imitation and jealousy.
He is the school's golden-haired dream boy, but uses his lover as a wager to prop up his self-esteem.
She is the unnoticed bystander, recording the entire collapse through her camera lens.
Here, the spotlight is a kind of judgment, rumors are a kind of currency, and youth means trying to maintain appearances while slowly rotting away.
And when a "brother-sister relationship" begins to cross the line, no one involved can walk away unscathed.
Seen through the eyes of Janice Miller, a student reporter, this is a spectacular unraveling.
[Eight episodes of the main story + character side stories]
Theme: When love and control, being watched and guilt become difficult to tell apart, how do we define "intimacy"?
