Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams) stars in THE PLAGUE, a psychological thriller about social hierarchy and alienation, set within an all-boys water polo summer camp.

In the summer of 2003, Ben (Everett Blunck), a socially awkward 12-year-old finds himself struggling to fit within a ruthless social hierarchy enforced by his peers at an all-boys summer water polo camp. But when he befriends Eli (Kenny Rasmussen), another lonely tween, he becomes entangled in a cruel game that finds him casting out his only friend. Told that Eli suffers from a contagious plague, Ben must confront his own complicity in the game as he finds himself unable to separate teasing from real harm.
