Spoilers ahead

In the backcountry of Arizona, a 17-year-old outcast named Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) embarks on an eventful first day of school. As he exits the building, a fellow student, Cindy (Nikki Griffin), admires his car, provoking the ire of her boyfriend Clay (Zachery Ty Bryan), a boastful football player. Clay’s jealousy boils over as he insults Sean’s vehicle and brags about his fancy Viper. In a witty response, Sean cleverly retorts by pointing out that Clay’s knowledge about his car is just regurgitated brochure facts. When Clay throws a baseball through Sean’s back window, the confrontation escalates, leading to a challenge to a race—winner takes Cindy.
