Synopsis:

The first story sends up the contemporary tabloid culture of sleaze and sensationalism: a teenage brother and sister plot for him to murder her on webcam so that she can become an immortal icon. The characters' detachment from reality is clearly an ironic commentary. The second play has actor Andy Moore recording a video message in which he reveals how his conflicting love for his girlfriend and desire for children led him to make a shocking choice. In the final story, a son nursing his dying mother reveals how his obsessive Catholicism leads him to mistake desecration for beatification.
