Overview: Do not look. Do not ask. Don't click. Fifteen-year-old Marty had his whole life ahead of him. But now he's dead. All he had left was a series of frosty videos he had shot shortly before his death. The grieving father puts together fragments of Marty's online life to reveal the circumstances of his tragic end.
