Consuming Impulses is a realistic drama that follows the lives of two best friends who are on the brink of great self-discovery while fighting the demons of the past and present. When you live in a world where every action is up for scrutiny and criticism, it doesn't take much for two susceptible young adults to get dragged into the glamour of destruction. Christina has long buried any real emotion and the painful memories of her childhood and is going through each day with a mask. Her survival is to pretend, but what happens when she starts to slowly unravel while her volatile father is reaching his own breaking point? Discovery of dark secrets, a distancing best friend, school pressure, and the call of the blade is going to make one hell of a fatal senior year that'll test the sanest of psyches. Daniel is facing pressures from each direction. He has to reach the end of the senior year with a feisty Hispanic mother, an emotionally distant father, and a shady brother at his back. With no career and college direction in mind, he's forced to watch the girl he loves spiral without him, while fighting his own temptations. He's going to have to find out sooner rather than later what makes a real man even if it means letting some people go. This is not a tale of great love, though about when love isn't enough and it is as poisoning as it is sweet. When lies are more revealing than truths, and that happy endings are foreign concepts. It's reaching the end of senior year, signifying the end of an era, but for some it just means the end.
