Wormwood.

Chase Baker

In bigger cities there are evils that you can defend against. The morning papers are filled with stories of robberies, murders, and every other form of crime that you can imagine. There is always someone to put a pair of cuffs on. Things aren't always that simple in a small town. We don't always know where the monsters are hiding. Wormwood, Louisiana is a town where the line between gossip and truth can often be unclear. It's a place where, tucked away from the mainstream, people create their own realities. A group of teenagers, with nothing but time on their hands, have come up with a plan. One that would take a self righteous preacher, who an entire town looked up to, and bring him down to their level. When one man reveals a more sinister objective, a well thought out plan unravels. Three murders and a missing girl hang over their heads. This is a gritty tale of love and confusion. It explores the fine line between religion and hysteria. Just as in life, there will be moments that disgust you and ones that save you. "Even God blinks, the only thing we can do is hope that he missed all of this. Otherwise, I'm sure he is going to hold it against us."
