Synopsis
After being fired from his dream job and ditched by his best friend, obnoxious Los Angeles parking enforcement officer Michael Harris begins to question whether anyone would care if he died. So with the help of his pushover ex-coworker Emile, Michael does what any social media-obsessed loner would do: He fakes his death online to see who will show up at his funeral. In just hours, Michael's fake death post attracts a promising 22 “Likes.” Giddy and eager to milk the prank, Michael convinces Emile to help him stage a faux memorial service. But as plans start taking shape, Michael’s reality gradually implodes, forcing him to reconsider what it means to be a “friend” in today’s hyper-connected world of social media.
