Premise
This video was created by Five Finger Death Punch in an effort to prevent suicide among youth.
Music video
The video, directed by Nick Peterson, begins with clips of a young woman (played by Samantha Gill[3]) in a bathroom placing an envelope, a pill bottle and a make-up brush on the counter. Meanwhile, a young man (played by Leland Montgomery[3]) walks out to a kitchen with a revolver in hand where an older man and woman (presumably his parents) are seated having breakfast together. The young man cocks the hammer, then puts the revolver barrel to his head and (presumably) pulls the trigger to commit suicide as his parents try to stop him. After a single gunshot is heard, the song begins playing.
