Eric is the new guy in town. His mom grew up in town, and Eric and his brother have moved
with her to start a new life without dad. Eric quickly discovers the in-group lead by Griffin
and their favorite activity - beating a scrawny kid named David to a pulp on a regular basis.
Eric wants no part of the bullying, but he also doesn’t do anything to help David or to stop the
other kids from participating. However, Eric’s role soon changes as he becomes the target of
terror after making some disparaging remarks about a member of the in-crowd. Eric discovers
how fast a bystander can become the object of a bully’s attention.
