Brandon Hardy is brilliant, athletic, popular and charming--the kind of student that makes St. Joe’s Prep School proud to call its own. However, his privileged life threatens to collapse when a disturbing videotape is found on campus.

The central mystery in this world premiere drama by a dynamic young writer will keep you absorbed through the final revelation. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama.
