Make Out with Violence is a genre-bending tale of a boy trying to fulfill his unrequited love for a girl who has risen from the dead. Set against the backdrop of a summer of cicadas and swimming pools, the film blends elements of up-beat teenage melodrama with the strange gravity of classic coming of age stories. It tells the story of twin brothers struggling to come to terms with the unexplained disappearance of the bright and beautiful Wendy Hearst. As the sweltering summer pushes on, they must maintain the appearance of normalcy as they search for ways to revive the Wendy they once knew.
