Archie Williams is a high school student who is struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. He decides to make a documentary for his senior project about his life and the reasons why he wants to end it. The film is shot in a mockumentary style, with Archie talking directly to the camera and narrating his story.
Throughout the film, Archie interacts with his parents, his therapist, his classmates and other people in his life, all of whom are concerned about his well-being. Some of them try to help him, while others are more dismissive or unsympathetic.
Archie also has a romantic interest in Sierra Silver, the most popular girl in school. He asks her to be a part of his project and to help him film his suicide, but she initially refuses. However, as she gets to know him better, she becomes more sympathetic to his struggles and helps him in unexpected ways.
As the documentary progresses, Archie's mental health deteriorates, and he becomes more and more isolated from the people around him. Despite his family's efforts to get him help, he ultimately decides to go through with his plan to end his life in front of the camera.
The film is a powerful exploration of mental health, suicide and the pressures faced by teenagers today. It offers a frank and realistic portrayal of the struggles that many young people face, and the importance of seeking help and support in difficult times.
