And does Charlie know Caril's limits? As his violent outburts increase, Caril starts to become overwhelmed with their relationship, and begins to fear for her and Charlie's mother's safety. Polly Dedrick is a social pariah that is constantly bullied at school for her strict Christian parents and her brief stay at a mental hospital. In an attempt to escape the abuse, she becomes close with Charlie and his equally brutal friends after an encounter where she accidentally helps them commit a crime. She begins to develop feelings for Charlie, causing her to spiral downwards in an attempt to make him return her affection. When all of their paths collide, mayhem begins to form, and they can never expect what's going to happen next.
