Skunk follows Liam, a neglected teen who is taken away from his parents’ home, where substances and violence reigned. Trading his school for a closed youth facility, he has trouble starting over again as he gets bullied even worse there. All though Liam finds solace with a new friend and social workers at first, when he revisits old trauma’s during counselling, his past keeps haunting him.
