In the quiet, unassuming town of Maplewood, Ohio, during the sweltering summer of 1958, a horrifying series of events unfold, shattering the innocence of childhood and leaving an indelible mark on those who witness the unimaginable.

At the center of this nightmare is Meg Loughlin, a young girl who's grandmother passed is left to her cruel aunt who sees her as nothing more than a chore, subjected to unimaginable torture and abuse at the hands of her sadistic aunt and a group of teenage boys, led by the chilling David. Meg gets kidnapped from her Aunt's home in broad daylight, no one tries to stop them or help her. Isolated and helpless, Meg endures a summer of pure hell, as her captors inflict upon her a litany of horrors that include brutal beatings, sexual assault, and psychological torment.

As the community turns a blind eye to her suffering, Meg's cries for help go unanswered, and her ordeal becomes a chilling testament to the depths of human depravity. With its raw, unflinching portrayal of evil and the loss of innocence.
