BULLIES
By Michael Grebb

GENRE: Thriller / Suspense
LOGLINE:

An outcast teenager’s revenge plot against high-school bullies quickly spins out of control, blurring the lines between bully and victim as his obsession sets off a deadly chain reaction.

SYNOPSIS:

Greg Morris has spent his high-school existence as an invisible outsider, doomed to obscurity, until he journeys across the cafeteria to sit with the cool kids in an act of defiance and a breach of all social etiquette. They immediately exact retribution by stripping him naked and humiliating him in front of the entire school, making it look as if Greg streaked through the lunchroom on his own. But when Greg takes the fall by refusing to turn them in, he uses that as leverage to blackmail the top jock who needs to stay out of trouble to secure a much-needed college scholarship. In the process, Greg begins an intricate revenge plot designed to make the cool kids think he’s desperate for acceptance while secretly plotting to bring them all down. The only problem is that he eventually goes too far, causing a car accident with deadly consequences. On the run and without anywhere to go, he kidnaps the school’s most popular girl and holds her hostage as the cops surround him in a final confrontation that exposes the truth: Greg was never really a victim. He was the bully all along.
