A dark, violent slasher-horror about a psychopathic child leading a murderous cult of children against corrupt adults, anchored by one teenager's resistance.

A psychopathic twelve-year-old girl in a small town in Nebraska recruits all the other children and goes on a bloody rampage, killing the corrupt adults and anyone else who opposes her. A bright high schooler who won't go along with the plan is the town's only hope of survival.
