Simon, an LGBTQ crisis hot-line operator, is becoming increasingly cynical over the frivolous calls he keeps receiving. It's all complaining and no actual crisis. Until one night when a young man named Danny calls in saying he is going to kill three other people before killing himself. Simon gets Danny to unravel his story of betrayal, the dark web and dangerous relationships. Originally re-titled and released as Crisis Hotline, the film-makers were not satisfied with the "slasher-movie" style marketing campaign.
