In the suffocating small town of Elmwood Heights during the 1940s, James Whitaker, a quiet, photography-obsessed teen, tries to navigate a world that rejects who he is. After moving to the town with his mother to escape a painful past, James becomes the target of relentless bullying. His crime? Being different—and secretly harboring feelings for William Carlisle, the handsome and untouchable star athlete with eyes as cold as the town itself.
William embodies everything James can't have—popularity, power, and a hidden darkness that mirrors James' own. As James' infatuation grows, so does the cruelty of William and his friends. But James isn't as fragile as they think. Beneath the surface, something inside him begins to unravel, pushing him down a path from which there's no return.
A gripping, psychological drama of obsession, desire, and revenge, Beneath the polaroid explores the fine line between love and madness, and what happens when a tortured soul decides to fight back against the world that shattered him.
