"Cry Wolf" Movie Synopsis: After one too many incidents of bad behavior at his last school, Owen Matthews (Julian
Morris) arrives at Westlake Prep – where a young woman has recently been found
murdered in the dark woods near the boarding school’s campus. Owen quickly falls in
with the school’s unofficial “liars’ club,” including the beautiful and savvy Dodger
(Lindy Booth of 'Dawn of the Dead' and 'Wrong Turn') and quick-talking, short-tempered
Tom (Jared Padalecki of the new television series 'Supernatural'). At Owen’s suggestion,
his new friends decide to expand their game’s reach beyond campus, by spreading an
online rumor that a serial killer called “The Wolf” committed the recent murder and is
planning to strike again.
The mischievous group’s descriptions of “The Wolf’s” intended victims are based on the
people they know best – each other. Only when the school’s journalism teacher, Rich
Walker (Jon Bon Jovi), warns the group about the kinds of predators that lurk on the
internet does Owen begin to regret sending their falsified story into cyberspace. When the
described “victims” suddenly start to disappear, Owen, Dodger, and Tom are no longer
able to determine where the lies end and the truth begins. As someone – or something –
starts hunting the players themselves, the game turns terrifyingly real.
