 For the most part it s a tale of a kid, Trevor, who gets picked on a lot a school. Not as much as he used to, because the year before he called in a phony bomb threat complete with a working bomb (minus anything that would actually explode). Because of this parents and teachers are afraid of him, and kids generally avoid him except for a group of outcasts called the "Trogs". As violence by the Jocks against the Trogs escalates, Trevor is the suspect for anything gone wrong, even though he didn t necessarily do anything. One teacher is willing to give Trevor the benefit of the doubt and casts him in a highly contraversial play about, what else? School shootings. It all comes to a head as some other students create a plan to bring guns to school and kill everyone in the cafeteria.
