A frustrated cruise-ship worker abandons his ordinary life to become a travel YouTuber, but his pursuit of fame drags him into a dark spiral of manipulation, controversy, staged glamour, dangerous investigations—and the slow destruction of his own humanity.

SYNOPSIS:

Henry, a cruise-ship worker with big dreams, launches a YouTube travel channel hoping to escape his middle-class struggles. Early videos show genuine passion—trekking through Death Valley, capturing raw landscapes, and telling real stories—but his hard work yields little recognition. Frustrated and broke, Henry grows dangerously obsessed with fame.

He writes an “Action Plan” that changes everything: add unreal glamour, stir controversy, destroy competition, and exploit dangerous real-world situations. He begins staging luxury trips with hired models, exposing illegal border crossings, and fabricating high-stakes “truths” that go viral. His viewership explodes into millions.

Henry climbs to the #1 travel YouTuber spot by publicly destroying rivals Eric and Nathan with brutal takedown videos. Soon he lives a high-roller life—luxury mansions, casinos, call girls, expensive liquor, reckless spending, and a growing addiction to adrenaline and power.

But as he becomes richer and more influential, Henry also becomes colder, crueler, and entirely detached from the innocent dreamer he once was. The influencer he created devours the man he used to be—leaving behind a hollow empire built on lies, manipulation, and spectacle.
