Sean Randall (Connor Jessup) is sleeping when his home is raided by the police. They had found postings that seem to indicate a future attack. Sean is an alienated metal goth teen who gets picked on by the hockey jock. Hockey girlfriend Deanna Roy (Alexia Fast) is the perfect princess who falls for the outsider weirdo.
As often is the case with this type of movie, there are stereotypes. Sometimes it's annoying and probably wrong. For example, the cop would not be confrontational like that. A good cop would try to befriend the suspect and get him to talk openly. He should be playing good cop. Of course, everything is stacked up against him including his weak lawyer, angry villagers, and sadistic prison mates. It's all very standard. Also I don't like his jacket. It's a little too standard. The only thing non-standard is the sentencing. I expected much worst. It makes no sense that the judge would be lenient in any way. Sean's self-destructive nature can be infuriating. Then there is the ending which doesn't fit for me.
