About this submission
Murph and Scanlan join lovebirds Teenie and Lugo for a debaucherous party deep
in the Massachusetts woods. At first, they miss the underlying tension between the
couple but then they realize the night is about to take a deadly turn. The Point is an edgy, and risky thriller about dating, substance abuse, betrayal, and violence in a small, working-class Massachusetts town.
