Experiencing Interruptions?

FREAK

When a 16-year-old boy is on the way home from visiting his mother’s grave, he stumbles upon a ‘Freak’ - the masked human species who are violent, ruthless and outcasts of society. Hence, the boy finds himself in a situation of life and death, where he must try to escape the ‘true’ monsters of his society - and fate might find it, that not everything is as it seems. After all, appearances can often be misleading - especially, if hidden by a mask.
