Will Reid is a gawky kid who wears fake turtlenecks, is obsessed with his ant farm and is lousy at gym. In other words, he's the perfect target for Shane, the Grade 9 bully. Katie has been Will's friend since elementary school, but defending him in high school now comes at a real cost. Joined by Devan who has been part of Shane's bullyboy team until he realizes that it's not so smart to mindlessly back up Shane's nasty attacks, the three teens struggle to find their way out of the classic dilemmas of life: how not to be a bystander to bullying, how to stand up for your friends and how to deal with consuming rage.
