Chicken

Haunted by his fear of heights and tormented by school bullies, Oliver is challenged to climb to the top of a tall building to prove his courage. With the support of his friend Emma, he struggles to overcome his acrophobia through failed experiments in virtual reality and hypnosis. When a small accident forces him to face his fear for real, Oliver finds strength in protecting others rather than himself. On the day of the challenge, he finally rises above his fears—just as justice catches up to his tormentor below.
