The Education of Fredrick Fitzell

SYNOPSIS

With a corporate job and a long-time girlfriend, Fred seems to have a perfect life. But his chance encounter with a man from his youth leads to frightening memories. Little by little, he unravels a mystery that has been hidden for years.
Fred (Dylan O'Brien) is not a detective, a secret agent or a philosopher. He's a normal guy approaching 30 and going through an existential crisis as he finds himself on the precipice of full-blown adulthood. Should Fred commit to his long-term girlfriend? Should he take a corporate job to pay the bills and let go of his dream of becoming an artist? After a chance encounter with a man-forgotten from his youth, Fred literally and metaphorically journeys into his past. He slowly begins to unravel a long hidden mystery about a missing girl, a drug called Mercury, and a terrifying creature that has now followed him into adulthood... As past, present and future begin to intersect and parallel each other Fred explores all the possible lives he could lead. Which one will he choose?
