A group of unruly, rebellious boys attend The Regis School, a prestigious prep school known for housing students who have been expelled from other institutions. Despite their troubled behavior, the students, led by Billy Tepper and his best friend Joey Trotta, exhibit strong loyalty and resourcefulness. Their lives take an unexpected turn when Colombian terrorists, led by Luis Cali, storm the school and take the students hostage. The terrorists aim to use the hostages as leverage to secure the release of Cali's imprisoned father, a notorious drug lord.

With the school's faculty and local authorities incapacitated, the students find themselves in a perilous situation. However, rather than succumbing to fear, Billy and his friends devise a series of daring plans to communicate with the outside world and undermine the terrorists' control. As tensions escalate, the boys rely on their wit and cohesion to outmaneuver the armed intruders while awaiting rescue. The struggle intensifies, setting the stage for a riveting confrontation where bravery and camaraderie are tested to their limits.
