Logline
A sensitive drama about bullying and catharsis.
15-year-old Holly is an outsider at school. Her classmates call her “the witch”. This reputation is reinforced when she calls in sick one day due to a premonition and a fire breaks out at the school, killing several students. But then the rumor circulates that she’s able to provide hope and peace of mind, which suddenly puts her in great demand.
