A thriller that was on Netflix within the last year

I watched this film on Netflix sometime in the early spring of this year, but I’ve long forgotten the title. It was about a boy and a girl who lived in some awful northeastern town, and both go kind of crazy as their lives progress- she ends up on drugs and getting raped by the sherrif’s son at a local club, he ends up biting off the school bully’s thumb after they throw a bottle of piss at him in the school shower, only to be sent away and medicated. The entire film is basically spent leading you on to think that the guy will end up shooting up their highschool- and he almost does, but changes his mind at the last minute and is arrested. When the girl finds out, she takes matters into her own hands and kills everybody who was involved in making their childhoods hell- the diddling priest who’d molested her friend all through elementary school, the sheriff who’d covered up her rape, the principal, who’d helped, the gym teacher, who’d also been involved somehow, her actual rapist, and everybody in the police station, after which she frees the guy, sending him off with a bunch of cash to live out a real life, and spending the rest of her life in a mental hospital.
The name was something to do with the club they were in, which was based on a locally famous gravemarker that was meant to be haunted. I want to say it was “Andrea Brown,” or something like that on the marker, but I can’t remember.
