Play Synopsis:

Teenager Cloe accidentally sees a list of names another student is
compiling. Is it a hit list for a planned school shooting, or is it
something more innocent? Now Cloe has one night to make the hardest
decision she’s ever faced: Say nothing and risk a mass murder, or report
the student and possibly ruin his life over nothing. In a cascading series
of phone calls, Cloe, her friends and two adults race against the clock to
find the balance between responsibility and panic. Active shooter drills
are supposed to prepare students to survive, but what’s preparing them to
live under a constant threat of violence?
