| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Cry Wolf |
|---|
Owen Matthews is sent to prestigious Westlake Prep because of his bad behavior at his last high school. Near the school's campus, in the dark woods, a woman has just been murdered. When Owen heard about the murder he started looking for the school's gang and when he found it he joined it right away. He and his gang decide to play a little by spreading an online message that a serial killer who is know as "The Wolf" has murdered the woman next to the school's campus. Owen also said that the killer is planning to strike again. The Owen's gang describes the killer's victims.
The school's journalism teacher, Rich Walker, is warning Owen that those messages could be really dangerous but Owen just ignores him. When the described victims appeared, Owen could not tell if it was a real or just a joke.
