Plot Summary:

Indie writer-director Gus Van Sant helms this unnerving tale about high school violence that unfolds on an ordinary school day, inside a typical American high school filled with the usual goings-on -- schoolwork, football, gossip and peer pressure. For each of the students we meet, high school is a different experience: alternately stimulating, friendly, traumatic, lonely or just plain hard. Timothy Bottoms co-stars.
