Boys Were Boys

On an otherwise ordinary Wednesday, over half of the male population across the planet vanishes. No warning. No rapture. Simply gone-without a trace.

In the aftermath of this unprecedented event, five women across the world find themselves navigating a new reality, one where power has shifted overnight, and the rules of survival are being rewritten.

In Los Angeles, a seasoned cop is forced to confront a long-buried truth about a night she swore she'd forget. In Indiana, a mother and daughter step into a newfound freedom, finally able to breathe in their own home. In a prison cell in Herat, Afghanistan, a woman who has known nothing but confinement suddenly finds the doors open-along with an opportunity she never imagined. At Cambridge, a grieving student mourns the loss of her devoted boyfriend, even as she wrestles with the unsettling question of what his absence could mean. And in Chicago, a hacktivist unearths a disturbing connection between the disappeared men and her imprisoned brother, raising urgent questions about justice, accountability, and the cost of truth.

As the world teeters on the edge of chaos and rebirth, these women must decide what comes next. Is this a reckoning? A second chance? Or something far more complicated?

Boys Were Boys is a gripping, provocative exploration of power, survival, and the choices that define us when the old world falls away.
