The Town Bully

In a small, quiet town, a group of teenagers decide to play a cruel prank on the town bully, a physically imposing but mentally challenged young man named Mack. Their prank goes horribly wrong, resulting in Mack's death. Consumed by guilt, the teenagers attempt to cover up their involvement, but their secret weighs heavily on them. As the town mourns, whispers begin to circulate, and the teenagers find themselves increasingly paranoid and suspicious of each other.
