Individual Film Idea 1 - Heroin and Heroes

Genre - Mystery/Thriller

Setting - Party, home, a quiet town

The film begins at a busy house party. It is a typical party full of teenagers drinking and meeting people. Everything seems perfectly normal until the main character, in an incredibly drunken state, walks into a quiet back room. In front of her, her innocent friend is lying dead on the floor. No one seemingly knows how or when she died but she is sure someone is to blame.

Police have ruled that the death included no foul play and she died of a heroin and alcohol overdose. She refuses to believe it eve though everyone else accepts it and try to continue with life. Her obsession with her friend’s death begins privately but progresses beyond her imagination.

She suspects everybody, even her closest relatives and family. She analyses every small detail of the death. She has frequent nightmares about the night, which become increasingly more vivid. It consumes her. She becomes a complete recluse. Her personal relationships become incredibly strained. The steady progression into madness leads the people around her to think that she was involved with her friend’s passing. She is sent for questioning by her worried parents and friends.  However after asking her numerous questions about the night, the police believe that it is not suitable to interrogate her anymore as she does not seem at all responsible and suffering from anxiety.

One night though, she has the most intense nightmare about that night. It is a clear flashback of the real events of the night. She sees her friend in that back room. They seem to just be having a regular drunken conversation but it gets more and more aggressive. Her friend taunts the girl about her boyfriend but apologises immediately afterwards. The girl seems to accept. Afterwards, she comes back to her friend and offers to share a bag of cocaine with her from which she accepts. The girl lets her friend try it first. It is revealed that the cocaine is actually powdered heroin, which the girl knew. This leads her friend to die of an overdose.
