Synopsis

A young man discovers that friends can quickly become enemies — and the transformation can have dangerous consequences — in this independent drama. Teenage Barret, still coming to terms with the death of his father, moves with his mom to a new community; Barret doesn’t get along with the students at his new school and soon finds he's a social outcast. Ryan is another student at the school who doesn’t get along with his peers, and soon Barret and Ryan become close friends. But the longer Barret hangs out with his new friend, the more uncomfortable he becomes with Ryan’s misanthropic views, and when Barret begins making friends with the students who once rejected him, Ryan's threatening words are translated into violent deeds.
