Description:

In the small suburban town of Hollywood, Florida, we are introduced to the dark reality of Bobby Kent, an unrelenting teenage bully. His best friend and girlfriend eventually find themselves aligned with other victims who have had enough of his cruelty. The eclectic group, which includes the overweight Lisa Connelly, conspires to exact their revenge on Bobby by luring him deep into a swamp under the false pretense of an illicit encounter involving sex and drugs. When they finally confront him, a brutal assault with baseball bats takes place, resulting in his gruesome murder. This true story delves into the complexities of teenage life, exploring themes of power dynamics, peer pressure, and the extreme consequences when unchecked cruelty meets a desperate cry for justice.
