Project Detail

Cruel Summer

Synopsis

Autistic teenager Danny is enjoying the serenity and solitude of a weekend camping trip in the Welsh woods. However, he becomes the undeserving target of vicious thug Nicholas, who wrongly believes Danny has slept with his ex-girlfriend. With Nicholas egged on by his scheming friend Julia and their weak-willed accomplice Calvin, Danny finds himself outnumbered, afraid and very alone.
A horrifying story of needless persecution that could all too easily have been ripped from the news headlines.
