After a concert by her favorite band, 16-year-old Rylee is hit by a car driven by none other than the band's singer, Payton — her absolute crush! He drives her home but passes out on the way. Rylee knows she is the only one who can help him get off drugs. So she chains him up in the basement of the empty house next door. Emma Higgins' dark and captivating thriller SWEETNESS is a kind of MISERY for a new generation.
