A simple, innocent mark becomes the catalyst for a hilariously complicated day in the life of a teenage boy in this sharp-witted comedy. When Ben, played by Troy Doherty, wakes up with a highly visible hickey on his neck, his meticulously planned school day spirals into chaos. Desperate to hide the evidence from his crush, the effortlessly cool Avery (Flavia Watson), and avoid the relentless teasing from his sharp-tongued friend Chloe (Raychel Diane Weiner), Ben embarks on a series of increasingly absurd cover-ups. His loyal but mischievous best friend Marco (Zedrick Restauro) is more of a hindrance than a help, offering wildly impractical solutions that only dig Ben deeper into trouble. Directed and written by Alex Grossman, "Hickey" captures the frantic energy and social minefield of high school, where a single small blemish can feel like a catastrophic event. As Ben’s lies multiply and his schemes grow more elaborate, the film delivers a fast-paced and relatable comedy about the lengths we go to save face, the bonds of friendship, and the universal panic of teenage mortification.
