In a post-apocalyptic world 200 years in the future, a young man living in a decaying wreck of a dwelling struggles to come to terms with his bleak existence while trying to save his mother from the grip of a strange black fluid which seems to prolong life but at the same time leaves it's users in a drug-like haze and causes scar-like tissue to cover their bodies.

Scars of Youth is the newest feature-length work from writer/producer/director John R. Hand, maker of the bold experimental horror film Frankensteins Bloody Nightmare.
