A lonely obese boy everyone calls Butter is about to make history. He is
going to eat himself to death-live on the Internet-and everyone is
invited to watch. When he first makes the announcement online to his
classmates, Butter expects pity, insults, and possibly sheer
indifference. What he gets are morbid cheerleaders rallying around his
deadly plan. Yet as their dark encouragement grows, it begins to feel a
lot like popularity. And that feels good. But what happens when Butter
reaches his suicide deadline? Can he live with the fallout if he doesn't
go through with his plans?
