The Prodigies
NYC, Central Park, 2010. Five young teenagers are violently assaulted. But they’re not your average teenagers… they’re prodigies. The trauma of the assault incites them to lash out against the world in a cold and calculating way. The five chillingly brilliant minds come together to concoct a perfect revenge. The only person aware of the pending doom is Jimbo Farrar, a sixth prodigy, who has gathered them. As long as he fights against his five counterparts with all his might, there’s hope for the world. But should he turn over to their side, it’s only a matter of time before a disaster of apocalyptic proportions ensues…
A chillingly detached exploration of gifted youth pushed to their breaking point. It feels like watching a meticulously crafted, cold-blooded plan unfold, leaving you with a sense of dread and the unsettling question of what happens when brilliance curdles into malice.
