LET US DO EVIL
Jeremiah looks up to 16-year-old
"Beans", a natural leader and master manipulator, who points out to
his younger friends that they are all helpless, at the mercy of a system which
releases rapists and criminals from jail to prey again, a society that doesn't
effectively protect its children from abuse.
Beans reminds them that adults have all the power, which they repeatedly
abuse. The group begins a series of
"vigilances" to avenge their society's wrongs. Understanding the need
for ritual and mystery, Beans requires them to meet in a strange forest glade
and provide primitive offerings to insure their success. Their covert actions
continue to spiral beyond harmless mischief.
Although hesitant at times, Jeremiah and his new-found love, Timothea,
feel compelled to follow Beans' dictum that "the punishment should fit the
crime" as their merciless retributions escalate from innocuous pranks to
violence and mayhem. [Explicit material]
