|---|
"A young man goes on the run after inadvertently witnessing the murder of his best friend at the care center where he lives. The care center sends a security team after him because he knows too much.
The killer's next victim is a female student at the local high school. Prompted by an unproductive police investigation, a friend of the victim begins an investigation of his own. As he progresses through the investigation he realizes that the mystery behind the murder goes way beyond just a single deranged killer. He risks his own life to solve the mystery."
