'Standby Me' meets 'Hannibal Lector' in this exciting coming of age story.
Fourteen-year-old Daniel and his friends enjoyed the best that childhood could offer during the summer of 1975 in a northern mining town until someone started slaughtering family pets. Daniel, who wants nothing more than to be the hero from his books, convinces his friends to help search for the 'sicko', but this only brings him to the attention of the killer.
What starts as a cat-and-mouse game escalates to fight for survival. When evidence surfaces that points at Daniel as the killer and his two friends turn against him, he soon realizes that there is much more to being a hero than what he has read. Running away from home, he enlists two seniors and a neighborhood bully to help trap the real killer.
