SYNNOPSIS
After making a terrifying discovery in her backyard, a teenage girl plans revenge upon a neighborhood pervert, but at a terrible cost. Now she's the chosen prey of a dark force that is subconciously driving her towards more evil doings. Struggling to find any meaning left in her world, she makes one final attempt to save her mortal soul.

A Form Of Guilt is a suspenseful short that would have easily fit into early Twilight Zone episodes. (30 min running time with a projected PG-13 rating)
