In the small town of Noble, Illinois, life for 16-year-old Chris Churchill is rough. Relentlessly bullied his whole life Chris reaches a breaking point when his 17-year-old half-brother moves in adding one more person in Chris’ life that picks and pokes at the already fragile teen. In the early hours of February 9th, 1998, after a night of drinking, smoking pot and constantly being taunted Chris waits for everyone to fall asleep so he can finally fight back and in his own demented and sick way acts out his pent up rage on those closes to him.
