Hoping to impress an activist classmate, the ultra-wealthy NYC teenager Balthy posts faux-tearful videos on social media, pleading for stricter gun laws. 

But when his content attracts the attention of an online troll who claims he is planning a school shooting, Balthy heads on an ill-advised journey to Texas to confront him.

An angsty, provocative coming-of-age story, Our Hero, Balthazar explores the impact of social media and American gun culture on modern adolescence through an incisive yet blackly comic lens.
