A darkly comedic slasher that mines teenage bullying and suicide for both horror thrills and gallows humor, following a vengeful ghost's systematic revenge.

Darren Mullet, a bullied asthmatic, is driven to suicide by his tormented life - ignored by his parents, ridiculed by his teachers and bullied at school. He returns from the dead to pay his teenage tormentors a final visit.
