A high school is on edge after a string of inexplicable and violent events begin to unfold, coinciding with the return of a troubled student, Brian, who was previously confined to a mental institution after the mysterious death of his father. As Brian struggles to assimilate back into the school system and deal with the whispers and stares of his peers, Paula, a bright and popular student, finds herself caught in a love triangle with Brian and her athletic boyfriend Dwight, unaware of the darkness lurking in the corridors of their seemingly normal suburban life.

The tension escalates as the school's faculty and students become targets of macabre and seemingly random acts of violence, casting suspicion on the once again institutionalized Brian. However, the truth is far from clear-cut as red herrings and concealed motives abound. With the authorities baffled and the student body paralyzed by fear, it's up to Paula and Dwight to unravel the mystery. As they delve deeper into the secrets of their classmates and the possibility that someone else might be orchestrating the chaos, their own relationship is put to the test, and they must confront the fact that anyone around them could be the culprit.
