== Synopsis ==

The story begins with a 16-year-old boy, who seems just like all other guys, except than that his bonding was unusual with another boy of his age. This bonding was highly objectionable to his father, who has reacted violently on that other guy. One fateful day, a few unfortunate events took place. <ref>{{Cite web |url=http://fredrickthefilm.com/launching-page-08/index.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2016-05-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160523081541/http://fredrickthefilm.com/launching-page-08/index.html |archive-date=2016-05-23 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The story takes a surprising and unimaginable turn when Vikram realizes that whatever clues they find during their search are all linked with Fredrick; every second they find something shocking. The biggest question for them is, who is this Fredrick? where is he? If Fredrick wanted to have him killed, he could have done so easily. Then what's stopping him? All the puzzles and mysteries are running parallel and when Vikram comes to know that Fredrick is not trying to kill him, he gets even more confused. One day he finally comes face to face with Fredrick, who himself has come forth as a larger unimaginable riddle. Amidst all these mysteries and revelations this interesting tale finally reaches a painful end. The film tries to bring light upon an untouchable issue in our society.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustanews.in/fredrick-the-film-movie-wiki-cast-details-trailer/|title=Fredrick The Film - Movie Wiki, Cast Details & Trailer|author=Trend|date=14 April 2016|work=HindustaNews|access-date=28 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160419190655/http://www.hindustanews.in/fredrick-the-film-movie-wiki-cast-details-trailer/|archive-date=19 April 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
