Filmed in Massachusetts.
The story: In 2012, Naples, Florida, 17- year-old Conrad Roy lll of Mattapoisett, Massachusetts was introduced by his aunt to 16 -year-old Michelle Carter of Plainville, Massachusetts while visiting with their relatives on vacation.
The two teens quickly took a liking to each other and began bonding.
Both Conrad and Michelle had been battling demons of social anxiety and depression and being medicated for them which made the two even closer.
They spoke about what was on their minds mostly through text messages after they returned home and realized they lived only 35 miles away from each other.
When Conrad began really struggling with his depression he grew more and more suicidal.
While Michelle believed in Conrad's pain she also believed she was closest to him and was helping him the only way she thought she could.
Conrad eventually took his depression to a whole other level when he committed suicide on July 13, 2014, in a KMart parking lot in Fairhaven, Massachusetts.
It seemed to Michelle in a way that she had done the right thing by encouraging her friend to take his depression to the ultimate level.
But the people who loved and cared about Conrad saw things otherwise.
