Sean Randall is falsely accused of planning a Columbine shooting scenario. When the police raid Sean’s home, they find rifles, shotguns, knives and ammunition – as well as a sup¬posed “revenge plan” targeting over 20 people who have tormented Sean. The authorities and the media proclaim another Columbine situation, and soon Sean faces a terrifying imprisonment in a youth detention facility.
"The worst prisons are the ones we create for ourselves“ (production note)
