WGA Registered | Feature Screenplay | Available for Option- A brilliant but bullied boy with epilepsy uses humor and relentless determination to transform his life, navigating loss, love, and loyalty as he rises from outsider to leader—without ever losing control of who he is.

SYNOPSIS:

BULLIED is a character-driven coming-of-age dramedy about Liam Cole, a sharp-witted boy growing up in a broken home, battling epilepsy, poverty, and social isolation.

At 13, Liam is an outsider—bullied, underestimated, and surviving in a household shaped by alcohol and neglect. But what he lacks in stability, he makes up for with humor and intelligence. His ability to deflect pain with wit becomes both his shield and his identity.

As he navigates school life, Liam slowly earns the respect of his peers—not through strength, but through perspective. He sees patterns others don’t. In people. In systems. In games.

When he discovers soccer, everything changes.

His strategic mind makes him invaluable, and he forms an unlikely bond with Tom—talented, confident, and everything Liam is not. What starts as contrast evolves into brotherhood.

At the same time, Liam finds himself drawn to Kate—kind, perceptive, and emotionally intuitive. What begins as curiosity becomes something deeper, forming a complex emotional triangle between the three.

But beneath Liam’s rising success lies a hidden truth: his father is dying.

When Liam discovers it too late, he is left with a letter that changes everything—urging him not just to survive, but to become stronger, to build something, to lead.

Liam doesn’t break.

He adapts.

Through grief, pressure, and emotional conflict, Liam rises—on the field, in relationships, and within himself. He learns that strength isn’t loud, love isn’t simple, and family isn’t always blood.

In the final game, facing both external pressure and internal limits, Liam makes a choice—not just to win, but to take control.

And for the first time in his life—

he doesn’t just survive.

He builds.
