Simon explores the criminal social phenomena known as the one punch or king hit. This story was entirely inspired by the tragic events which affected the lives of Patrick Cronin and his family. A boy who's only crime was attempting to help his friend who was caught in conflict, and suffered the consequence of a deathly blow to the head.
This film is intended to spread awareness to these sudden and cowedly decisions made by cruel and unjustified individuals, and what impact these small moments can have on peoples lives.
