Synopsis/Details
Ezra and Phillip are the leaders of a group of boys who have been friends throughout elementary school. They consider themselves “at war” with another group of boys led by a kid named Redmond, but this is really just a playful rivalry which includes both groups competing in water fights, tag, and treasure hunts. Now, these boys find themselves entering middle school, and one of Ezra’s best friends, Chris, reveals he is not going to the same school. As it turns out, Redmond is not going to the same school either. However, despite this, both groups plan a game of Ultimate Manhunt in the woods of a nearby park. Everyone attends, including some boys and girls from another group that Ezra befriends in middle school. What results is a game of manhunt they will never forget. In a way, it will also mark the end of their childhoods. This coming-of-age movie will explore the awkwardness of being a middle schooler in a way that is both funny and dramatic, while also being relatable to those who grew up in the 21st century.
