Spoilers ahead

Troubled teenager Kale Brecht (Shia LaBeouf](/actor/shia-labeouf)) finds himself in a precarious situation after a heated confrontation with his Spanish teacher, Senor Gutierrez (Rene Rivera), leads to a punch thrown in anger over a sensitive topic—his father’s recent passing. The sympathetic judge, Judge (Charles Carroll), consequently sentences him to three months of house arrest, where he’s tethered to an ankle monitor that restricts him to a 100-foot radius of the sensor set up inside his home.
