Story
Malcom's done with his life. Only the noise of Crystal Meth gives him a reason to keep going - everything else it has long regardless. Equipped with a bag full of weapons and self-made bombs, he makes his way to the nearby mall to really stir things up. On his personal war campaign, he not only changes his life radically, but also the fate of other people who are in the wrong place at the same time: a teenager whose favorite pastime is smoking pot in his dreary existence, a housewife, where their best days have been left behind, a greedy businessman whose only desire is to increase his wealth and a depressed pervert.
Summary
Malcolm's descent into meth-fueled rage propels him on a one-way trip to his local mall, armed with an arsenal of homemade explosives and weapons. This personal warpath doesn't just alter his own trajectory; it intersects with the lives of those unfortunate enough to be present: a disaffected teenager seeking escape in pot smoke, a worn-out housewife long past her prime, a ruthless businessman blinded by greed, and a lonely pervert consumed by despair. As Malcolm's chaos unfolds, each life hangs in the balance, forever changed by his violent, misguided crusade.
