Premise

Runt follows the life of Cal (Boyce), a teenage boy who experiences troubling incidents that makes him a cold and callous person.[4] Cal is interested in Gabriella (Hildebrand) but is being bullied by her boyfriend, Vic (Knight) and his group of friends. The character devolves into pain, self-destruction, and abuse after being subjected to bullying by his peers in high school. The film also shows the lack of adult intervention which causes Cal to grow up into an individual lacking a moral compass.[5]
