Synopsis
Spoiler shield

Claude and Ellen are best friends who live in a not-so-nice area of New York. They're involved in the subculture of 90s youth, complete with drugs, live music, and homophobia. All is changed one night when a violent and meaningless death rocks their lives.

β€œIn a world that expects you to fit in, sometimes you have to stand out.”
