High school student Zoe Hull struggles with the death of her mother, Jennifer, and her relationship with her father, Todd, is strained.
On the way to school, Zoe witnesses classmate Chris Jelick planting a strange device in a field, but writes it off as a prank.
Since the shooters are taking hostages instead of actively shooting, Sheriff Tarsy wants to coordinate a safer response but it proves to be difficult.
The media picks up the livestream, much to Tristan's delight, and he begins removing students from their classrooms where they are sheltered in place.
Handcuffed, Kip admits his motivation for the shooting was retaliation for a bullying incident that occurred in middle school.

"[14] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter stated, "Half-hearted posturing aside, this is Die Hard in a high school, with a seventeen-year-old female John McClane getting motivational input from her dead cancer mom as she dismantles the murderous plot using little more than gut instincts.
"[15] David Ehrlich of IndieWire criticized director Rankin for several of the tropes he implemented, stating that the film is "a glib, artless, and reprehensibly stupid thriller that doesn't even have enough on its mind to be provocative.
