Reckless

Hate crime can move from virtual to actual and the consequences can last a lifetime

Two girls. Kasi and Sophia love singing and they’re both very good. They send off demos to a music producer who likes what he hears and invites them to do a demo. He thinks they’ll sound great as a duo but when Kasi tells Sophia she doesn’t want to duet and has her dreams set on being solo, the new found friendship is at risk of being ripped apart.

Sophia is a bit disappointed but suddenly her obnoxious brother and his mate get involved and start bad mouthing Kasi. Soon social media is being used to send seriously bad messages. It’s a proper nasty mess.

As the messages get more hateful, tension mounts towards a dangerous climax and someone is going to be seriously hurt.

Who will find the courage to intervene or is a violent attack inevitable?

Reckless deals with Hate Crime and shows how quickly social media can be used to terrify and hurt and that sometimes the hurt can move from virtual to actual and the consequences can last a lifetime.

Written by Maurice Bessman, writer of smash hit shows Terriers and Eve’s Story.
