The Girl from Plainville Storyline
The Girl from Plainville explores the events in Massachusetts leading to the death of Conrad Roy by suicide in 2014 and his girlfriend Michelle Carter’s conviction in 2017 for the involuntary manslaughter of him.
The narrative follows a non-linear structure with two parallel storylines, one concerning Conrad and Michelle’s relationship from their initial meeting in Florida in 2012 up until his death, and one concerning the events following his death. Conrad and Michelle’s text messages to each other are frequently re-enacted as if they were having a live conversation. There are also a number of fantasy sequences, told from Michelle’s point of view.
