Plot:
Whilst on holiday celebrating their anniversary, the parents of our protagonist were tragically killed in the Tsunami that struck in Japan 2014. After the devastation of his loss, the 15-year-old protagonist is left to an orphanage while under intense psychological evaluation while they track down his closest known relative. He then moves in with a distant relative in an unfamiliar and remote town. The protagonist's suppressed depression and anxiety begins to re-emerge as he constantly feels alone. After months of feeling alone, the protagonist becomes friends with a young male who appears to be the same age (17). The friendship blossoms as the two characters hang out every day and share secrets about each other’s lives. As months go on weird encounters occur as the town becomes more alert when children start to disappear from their homes and it is widely broadcasted throughout the remote town via the local radio stations.
One evening near Halloween, the protagonist was alone at home, he is faced with a suspenseful dilemma as he fears he is not alone in the house, he is split between hiding and praying the intruder doesn't find him or fighting the intruder off and taking his chances in an action packed fight. He chooses the latter of both as he becomes filled with adrenaline. He starts off by hiding under a bed and takes his chances but the intruder sees through the common hiding place for scared children. As the protagonist is pulled out from beneath the bed he has the mind set to fight the intruder off but he knocked out, masked and gagged before he gets the chance to.
The protagonist gains consciousness in a stripped down room with greenery outside with is seeping through the floorboards. He soon realises the intruder is stood behind him...
The intruder and abductor was his best friend. The protagonist becomes Enraged, the friend explains how the children going missing isn't a coincidence... in fact he claims the protagonist is next as the town abduct and sacrifice children in a ritual as a thank you to god for the disease free town... he then claims to have saved him by getting to him first as he doesn't want him to get abducted as he is his only friend.
After the first attempt at escaping, the antagonist reacts badly and ties the protagonist to a chair and repeatedly beats him to teach him a lesson. The protagonist becomes paranoid as straight after the torture encounter, the antagonist takes no notice and acts like nothing happened which makes the protagonist question the sanity of both his captor, and himself. From this point bizarre encounters start happening. Such as the protagonist wakes up to his 'friend' watching over him and waking up with strange bruises and lacerations. Without any warning, his food becomes less and less frequent. This greatly drains his energy and leaves him feeling incredibly weak and possibly hallucinating
One day, the antagonist stands at the door and as he turns the key in the lock to open it, he smiles as he knows he is in complete control. He descends down the stairs while toying with his hostage by playing with his weaponry. Making the protagonist uneasy and afraid
The kidnapper glances over the protagonist as he his head faces the floor, not daring to look up and provoke him. As he approaches him he places the small bowl of food on the floor and tightly grabs his hair and comments on his courtesy, the protagonist shows disrespect by spitting into his face so the antagonist retaliates. Violently. After the atrocious act, the 'friend' softly runs his fingers on the
victim’s skin, the victim doesn't scream, he just sheds a single tear as he reminisces back to a time in his life when he had everything. As the protagonist pretends to sleep he acknowledges the antagonist’s presence and feels the icy cold breath on his neck as he whispers 'live as a monster; or die a good man'. Suddenly the protagonist sits up to catch him in the act but there was no one to be seen. This causes the protagonist to debate whether it's just in his mind. Or if he was still alone back at his distant relative’s house, trying to find anything to keep him interested and to stop the boredom taking over.
The protagonist starts to become paranoid and starts to debate whether the food his 'friend' is giving him is safe from drugs which are causing him to feel weak and on edge 24/7. As the protagonist hides away in the corner wanting to die, he begins to lose hope and contemplates suicide... until suddenly he witnesses the antagonist dragging a lifeless female body across the floor, he becomes weary as he feels that the female is the next victim. The door that has become to barrier to his sanctuary becomes unguarded, he is filled with both hope and doubt. As he slowly peaks round the corner of the door frame like a turtle coming out of it's shell, he is overwhelmed with exhilaration as he witnesses the kidnapper on the floor though he is still breathing.
As he starts to walk towards the front door, the antagonist grabs his ankle which startles him and which triggers paroxysm of fury, leading to him kicking the enemy in the face.
The protagonist makes it outside and sprints with every muscle in his body to escape that torture. He glances back as he hears panting and footsteps behind him but doesn't see anyone. On alert, the protagonist stumbles upon a location deep in the abandoned,desolate forest, the complete exterior of the trees and forestation are covered in missing posters. As the protagonist inspects the posters in more detail he notices that they're real posters from a collection of places all around England, and every poster is a different person even though there are mass amounts in this one location.
This fades out as its a flashback, it zooms out onto the protagonist as he watches over some dead bodies with a gun in his hand. The abuse and torture he relives every time he closes his eyes. This is what caused him to become what he is now, for what he was moulded by. He now spends every waking moment tracking down missing people and murdering the criminals who pray on the vulnerability in the hope he'll come across the guy who has caused so much pain to the protagonist.
The protagonist finds a love interest and as he starts to feel finally normal, but one evening, he finds the apartment messed up with a single note on the bed... ' live as a monster; or die as a good man'.
He then goes on a pursuit to track down the monster who has enflincted so much pain on him.
