Synopsis/Details
End Zone is a twisted familial psychological thriller in the vein of Disturbia and The Strangers. It is the story of WYATT FARRELL, a college star quarterback home from the hospital after a fatal car accident that claimed the lives of his two best friends. With one leg in a cast and a boot on the other, his father, a widower, leaves his son alone for the night. Dazed on painkillers, Wyatt is tormented by a series of disturbing phone calls blaming him for the accident, as well as a shadowy figure who stalks the property. He must fight hallucinations of his deceased friends, as well as the very real stalker outside who continues to torment him. A hidden box in the attic brings Wyatt to the bottom of the neighborhood's darkest secret: he is adopted. His father and the mother of his best friend had an affair and conceived Wyatt's friend John. Now John, the biological son, is dead, and Wyatt’s father believes his adopted son is to blame. Wyatt will need to use every ounce of his strength and smarts to survive his deranged father and make it through the night.
