The Plague

In "The Plague," a socially awkward tween named Ben (Everett Blunck) attends a water polo summer camp, desperate to fit in with the ruthless social hierarchy. His anxiety spirals into psychological turmoil as he aligns himself with popular boys led by Jake (Kayo Martin), including hazing and bullying of the eccentric misfit Eli (Kenny Rasmussen), who suffers from a mysterious skin disorder. As Ben's situation worsens, he connects with Eli in private and begins to confront his own vulnerability, ultimately breaking free from the camp's toxic behavior.
