But when an amateur crime blogger uncovers disturbing evidence on the players’ social media accounts, the town—and quickly the country—are forced to face what these boys have done.

Their crimes resemble high-octane Hollywood action movies: a sports car speeds through a Dubai shopping mall, crashing into the windows of a Graff jewelry store.
