When a popular, smart, adopted, African-America senior high school student (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), who feels pressured to be perfect and is a standout on the track and debate teams, in Virginia writes a politically-incorrect, pro-violence paper to complete a school assignment for his history teacher (Octavia Spencer) dealing with an emotionally disturbed sister (Marsha Stephanie Blake) who then discovers illegal contraband in his locker and contacts his worried parents (Naomi Watts and Tim Roth) about her concerns in this riveting, taut, intense, critically acclaimed, multilayered, thought-provoking, 109-minute psychological thriller highlighted by Oscar-caliber acting and adapted from J.C. Lee's play, tensions, raw emotions, and suspicions escalate as the parents, teacher, and principal (Norbert Leo Butz) try to figure out the truth.
