What you need to know before your trail
Eric Connelly is crumbling under the weight of his dad’s expectations. He can t seem to live up to the Connelly Man standards but when he meets the mysterious, free-spirited Jordan Grant, his dad s rules seem so much less important than they used to.
Jordan and Eric who is now known as E, joins up with two of the most popular girls in school to combat their rich-kid boredom. But then the group starts to kill time in more nefarious ways. It s Jordan who escalates the pack’s dares from mostly harmless jaunts like joyrides in boosted cars and Bling Ring style luxury shoplifting sprees into more violent activities. Eric is intoxicated . . . swept up in the pack’s activities, even as Paige and Haley start to have reservations about what they’ve been doing. When Jordan starts talking bigger what s a little bomb building between friends? E must decide if he s just too far down the rabbit hole to back out.
Travel Guide
Eric, son of a politician get into a bad crowd and joins a sort of gang who call themselves “The Suicide Pack.” They are trying to raise the stakes and their pranks are getting more serious and more deadly. They say they’re reeking revenge on those they feel have done them wrong, or wrong in general. No-one in the area is free from their pranks and what they see as the wrongs that the wealthy elite have committed.
“This town needs fixing,” Jordan tells Eric. “And we’re the only people who can see it.”
But if you play a dangerous game where the stakes are getting higher, you don’t want to be the unpopular kid who goes against the crowd do you?
A teenage gang can sometimes get into things no one can control let alone stop. Makes you thankful you’re either no longer at school or that your school is not like this one.
