Desperate for a job to help him support his family, Jim Norman takes a position teaching high school in the town where his brother was murdered in front of him by teenage bullies twenty-seven years before. The teens who committed the crime are long dead, but now the kids in Jim's new class keep dying and being replaced by new students who look like the deceased hoodlums.
A quiet town hides a cyclical nightmare where the ghosts of past bullies manifest through a new generation of doomed students. This Stephen King adaptation leans into eerie, supernatural repetition that turns a standard slasher premise into a haunting loop of vengeance.
