Don't Tell a Soul

Seventeen-year-old Matt feels the weight of his mother's terminal illness and decides to take drastic measures. He coerces his younger brother Joey into joining him on a robbery at an isolated property that is currently undergoing fumigation.

After successfully breaking in, Matt and Joey are confronted by security guard Dave Hamby. In a panic, they flee into the woods, leading Dave to chase after them, but he ends up falling into an abandoned well.

Joey is tormented by guilt after leaving the injured Dave behind in the well. Despite Matt's insistence on not helping him, Joey secretly brings supplies to Dave, signaling a deeper strain in the brothers' relationship.

Tensions rise dramatically when Matt urinates on Dave's incapacitated body to assert dominance. Joey's furious reaction showcases the growing conflict between the brothers, revealing Joey's disapproval of Matt's increasingly reckless choices.

In a shocking betrayal, Matt spends the stolen money on a lavish motel party and falsely accuses Joey of theft. Joey retaliates by revealing a dark secret about Matt's involvement in a man's death, further fracturing their bond.

While watching their mother's news program, Joey discovers that the man trapped in the well is Randy Michael Sadler, a fugitive wanted for murdering his family. This revelation spirals their situation into a much darker territory.

Joey scrambles back to the well and finds Randy alive, thanks to a gas mask. Randy offers Joey a deal, promising him vengeance against Matt if he helps him escape, which puts Joey in a precarious moral position.

When their mother, Carol, identifies Randy as a fugitive from the news, horror fills her as she realizes Joey is now tangled in the web of crime. This inadvertently heightens the tension and distrust between the brothers.

Driven by suspicion, Matt reports Joey to Officers Smith and Crane, revealing his guilt in the robbery. This unintentional disclosure only complicates matters further as the officers uncover the brothers' chaotic entanglement.

The situation escalates as Matt, Joey, and Randy find themselves in a standoff. Joey desperately tries to mediate the conflict while the officers are caught in a violent tension between the brothers and Randy.

In a courageous act, Joey restrains Randy during the confrontation, enabling the officers to escape from danger. This moment highlights Joey's transformation from a passive victim to an active defender.

Randy takes the brothers into the forest and forces Matt into the well that had previously held him captive. This manipulation highlights the depths of Randy's malevolence as he pits the brothers against each other.

Overcome by guilt and confusion, Matt savagely beats Joey in a frantic effort to confront the chaos in their lives. This brutal act reflects his internal struggle and the deep rifts in their brotherly bond.

As tensions mount, Carol arrives with a gun, aimed at Randy, revealing her past filled with vengeance against an abuser. Her calm yet threatening demeanor showcases her determination as she is drawn into the chaos.

After reviving Joey, Matt pours out his sincere apologies, leading to a heartfelt reconciliation between the brothers. In a sobering moment, Carol concludes the tragic sequence of events, still focused on Randy's lifeless body.
