Plot.
Taryn finds herself gaining much-desired popularity when the charismatic new girl at school claims her as a “breath sister," teaching Taryn about the Choking Game. Hiding it from her ever-present mother, best friend, and teachers, Taryn sees choking as a way to build self-control and grab an easy high. But, as the stakes are raised through each subsequent ‘flight’, Taryn has no idea that she is actually putting her life in extreme danger.

Wiki.
The Choking Game is a 2014 American psychological drama made-for-television film about two high school seniors who become enthralled with the habit of self-asphyxiation. The film, which is based on the book Choke by Diana Lopez, is directed by Lane Shefter Bishop and stars Freya Tingley, Alexa Rose Steele, Beverly Ndukwu, Mitch Ainley and Ferron Guerreiro. It received mixed reviews from critics, and attention from psychology websites, owing largely to it being the only mainstream film of its time to cover the choking game phenomenon.
