Confronted by his mother's emotional collapse after the accident, Brent escapes into a drug-fueled world of loud metal music to block the pain and guilt. Despite his misery, he finds solace in the arms of his girlfriend Holly, a grounded, caring girl who asks him to be her date for the school formal.
