Faced with the rising threat of a psychotic young bully, a young girl and her family find themselves becoming more and more paranoid until a brutal murder occurs.
Based on a true story, a mother’s quest to protect her teenage daughter from being bullied by her deviant school senior results in disastrous consequences.
After relentless bullying by a disturbed boy who lives next door, an awkward teen girl’s mother is relieved when a court orders the boy to leave their suburban neighborhood. However, the vindictive boy uses his equally dysfunctional brother, who now lives next door to the girl, to lure her to the home where the boys abruptly murder her.
