Spoilers ahead
At Sloppy Secondary High School, a new teacher, Ms. Vickers, has organized a charity event called a 24 Hour Famine, the first of its kind in five years after a troubling incident during the last famine. Ten students sign up for extra credit: Cathy, Sarah, Darren, Nick, Terry, Vanessa, Andrea, Katie, Jenny, and Peterson. Before the timer starts, Vickers asks Jenny to recount what happened at the previous famine, and Jenny shares a chilling rumor: the organizer, Philip Balszack [Nathan Durec], was somehow disfigured by acid when he attempted something inappropriate with Cathy in the chemistry lab. Balszack disappeared afterward, and Cathy was briefly institutionalized. The tone of the day shifts from hopeful charity to a growing sense of danger as the past bleeds into the present.
