Short description

A joinery instructor at a rehab center refuses to take a new teen as his apprentice, but then begins to follow the boy through the hallways and streets.

What's left behind the scenes

The film is partially based on the story of James Patrick Balger, whose murder shocked Great Britain in 1993. Balger was 2.5 years old, and his two murderers were 10 years old.
