Slapface Plot Summary

What happens in Slapface from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Lucas Joshua Kaufman is a quiet boy who shares a rundown house with his neglectful older brother Tom after their mother’s death, haunted by memories of their abusive father, Nick Gregory. To cope with the crushing loneliness, they cling to a brutal game they call Slapface, trading sharp, painful slaps to mark time in a world that keeps pulling them apart. Lucas’s only rough companionship comes from a trio of bullies—Donna, Rose, and Moriah—who poke and torment him at school, offering cruelty rather than friendship. The dynamic that threads through their days is fragile, fragile enough to bend with the slightest gust of fear or longing.
