Two years after his death,Cameron Boyce’s final appearance on the big screen will come in his powerful last filmRunt.
PEOPLE has an exclusive look at the trailer for the teen drama, which follows Boyce’s Cal and a group of high schoolers as they’re “pulled into a downward cycle of violence, and ultimately are left to face the consequences of their choices,” the film’s official synopsis reads.
The movie’s trailer follows as Cal gets more and more violent after he’s repeatedly targeted and beaten up for asking out the star football player’s girlfriend. It ends with him standing in front of a burning car, hinting at the darkness he leaned into.
Runt, opening in theaters on October 1, also stars Nicole Elizabeth Berger, Carson Boatman, Brianna Hildebrand, Charlie Gillespie, Aramis Knight, Jason Patric, Tichina Arnold, Seth Lee, Cyrus Arnold and Javier Bolanos.
