In the quaint town of Hollow Creek, appearances are everything, and no one knows this better than Eli Donovan. A seemingly charming and intelligent high school student, Eli has perfected the art of deception, donning a facade that conceals the chilling truth of his inner world. While his classmates buzz with gossip about recent mysterious disappearances, Eli basks in the chaos, manipulating those around him as he carefully navigates his double life. Beneath the mask of the ideal brother to his younger sister, Lucy, and a dutiful student, Eli harbors a dark secret: he is a vigilante serial killer who believes he is cleansing the world of its true monsters. As he juggles the complexities of teenage life—school plays, friendships, and sibling rivalries—he secretly plots his next move, driven by a thrill that pulsates through his veins. But as Eli’s world begins to spiral into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, he finds himself entangled with a classmate whose sharp intellect threatens to unravel his carefully constructed web of lies. Amidst the tension, friendships are tested, and his mask of innocence starts to crack. With darkness lurking just beneath the surface, Eli must confront not only the monsters he hunts but also the demons that threaten to consume him. In this gripping tale of duality, Mask of the Misguided delves into the mind of a boy who walks the fine line between good and evil, where love, loyalty, and betrayal intertwine, ultimately questioning the very nature of humanity and the masks we wear in our pursuit of acceptance and control.
