"Rich with detail and many touches. 'One of Us' is a moralist's delight...
There's room for actors to really enjoy the experience."
Judge's Comment, Paperscreenplay, 2022
Concerned that they might not get the best grades for the upcoming examinations, four boys at a boarding school decide to break into the storeroom where their exam papers are held. ​Then one of the boys locks the other three in, and leaves.
​
​Betrayed and knowing they will get caught red-handed, the three incarcerated boys must face their own demons as well as their problems with each other.
‘One of Us’ is the screenplay adaptation of ‘Red-Handed’.
