Jayden lives with his father on the edge of a small country town. He stutters and is addicted to video games.
His best friend Shannon knows how to handle a rifle. When her mum is released from prison, the town waits to see whether her sociopathic stepson Pete will exact revenge for the manslaughter of his father.
Caught with ammunition at school and suspended, Jayden’s world disintegrates. As a drug war erupts, Pete gears up for his violent assault.
Will it be left to Jayden to stop him?
