When all but one child from the same third-grade classroom mysteriously vanish one night at 2:17am, a community is left with nothing but despairing questions. WEAPONS starts out as a heightened but believable exploration of collective trauma—shifting focus among those affected by the mysterious tragedy—but, in the hands of the creator of Barbarian, you know it can’t stay grounded for long. In fact, it quickly switches tracks in a thrilling and unnerving way, swerving into uncharted, supernatural territory before crashing to an operatic final act that must be seen to be believed.
