    ABOUT THE PROJECT

    LOGLINE
    As the drug Fentanyl makes headlines killing youth all around the world, the Noriega family grapples with the death of their son, and makes new ground preserving his legacy.

    SYNOPSIS
    On June 9th of 2022, Cooper Noriega tragically lost his life, after being poisoned by a pressed fentanyl pill, sold to him as a Xanax pill. At the time he was living in Los Angeles, modeling and had a fanbase of close to 3 million followers on TikTok. His death sent shock waves through the community and was immediately reported on by TMZ, news outlets, and podcasts alike with some variation of the same headline: “TikTok Star dies of accidental drug overdose,” but is that actually accurate to what happened? The Noriegas, like many other families now caught in this unfortunate situation, have had to ask themselves this exact question. When a highly addictive, highly lethal synthetic opioid, is being cut into and even disguised as being other less lethal drugs, is their death really “An Accidental Drug Overdose” or something more sinister?

    In the aftermath of Cooper’s death, his family has continued to move forward and break new ground holding projects Cooper had started shortly before his death and raising awareness on the deadliness of Fentanyl. TELL ME ABOUT TOMORROW aims to examine Cooper’s story, while attacking the question of the day, what is fentanyl and how do we combat it? As told by his family, his closest friends, as well as subject experts on Addiction, Fentanyl, grief and loss.
