CrimeDramaThriller

A group of teenagers in South Florida enact a murder plot against their mutual bully, Bobby, who has emotionally, physically, and sexually abused them for years.

VIBE

This film is a raw, unflinching look at the corrosive effects of abuse and desperation. It's a bleak, character-driven drama that feels uncomfortably real, exploring the darkest corners of teenage life with brutal honesty.
