“The Punishment Show”

Frustrated with the state of the world, Max decides to dip a toe into vigilantism but, when he’s faced with an opportunity to punish a perpetrator, he becomes the tortured one. Desperate to make a difference, Max turns to a support group for vigilantes which he hopes will help him to accomplish his goals. Instead, he realizes the group’s mission is to help vigilantes manage their addiction versus taking matters into their own hands. Will Max continue down his dark path towards justice, or will he learn to trust in people and in systems? This is THE PUNISHMENT SHOW.
