“Solo Cup” is a short film that unravels the truth about a tragic murder. Lizzie, overshadowed by her wild friend Maya, finds herself entangled in a web of deception and tragedy. At a fraternity house party, Lizzie is reluctantly convinced by Maya to spike a drink with LSD, setting off a chain of events that leads to the death of their friend, Cameryn.
Faced with the consequences, Maya pressures Lizzie to frame someone else, pointing fingers at Tom, Cameryn's ex-boyfriend. Lizzie, torn between guilt and the need to do what's right, finally confesses to the accidental drugging and exposes the toxic nature of the people around her.
The revelation triggers police intervention, but as Lizzie awaits her fate, fragments of conversations from the party replay in her mind. She starts to piece together the truth about Cameryn’s death.
