Summary

Two words: Jenny Jones.

On March 6, 1995, Scott Amadure and Jonathan Schmitz went on the Jenny Jones show. On the show, Scott revealed to Jonathan that he had a crush on him. Jonathan, seemed to take it in stride. But three days later, he bought a gun, drove to Scott's home, and murdered him in broad daylight. What happened? Who is responsible? Was Johnathan pushed to a breaking point by his friend's crush? And how much responsibility does the Jenny Jones show bear?

THE FILM IS DIRECTED BY SKYE BORGMAN, DIRECTOR OF "ABDUCTED IN PLAIN SIGHT" and tells the story of a white man in 1984 who shot four black teenagers on the New York City Subway.
