Faces of Death

Margot Romero, a content moderator for Kino, a TikTok-like platform responsible for filtering out any content that is offensive or violent, comes across an eerily real decapitation execution video on the site. Although she initially disregards them as staged with potentially hyper-realistic practical effects, her concerns grow when another video depicting death via electric chair pops up in a similar format. She reaches out for second opinions but is quickly dismissed, seemingly attributed to her past involvement in a trend which accidentally resulted in the brutal, recorded and uploaded death of her sister on a train track. At home, Margot's roommate Ryan gives her a lipstick knife.
