“A conflicted teenager has his inner-violence forcibly unsheathed by his charming, hot headed older brother who turns out to be the leader of an underground cult.”
Tortured by past trauma, Jonathan “JJ” Ming is haunted by visions of a dark basement where brutal violence unfolds — forearms crushing arteries, blood on teeth, skin striking skin. Amidst the chaos, one image lingers: the slanted eyes of Asian boys, staring back at him. His older brother Tommy leads him through a night of hostile encounters with drunk white men. Tommy — sharp, witty, and brutish — retaliates with violence, while JJ remains paralyzed. By dawn, JJ must confront his past or risk being buried in Tommy’s violent cult, trapped in a cycle of retribution.
