Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.

30 parts Complete
Aaliyah/ Liyah- She's fierce and sassy. Has all the confidence in the world. Biggest problem? Hates people. Has one friend who she barely talks to. She can't stand people at all; especially arrogant jerks. Elijah- Ignorant, troubled and doesn't talk to people. He's never seen with anyone besides his best friends Jonah, Ethan, Jackson, Jay, Xavier, Alex, Toni and not to mention Eric. Never gets anything because he's captain of the basketball team. Jonah- Stubborn, hot, troubled just like Elijah, player and annoying. Xavier- Younger brother of Jonah, less troubled and annoying, keeps to himself. Jackson- 'Too ripped to care about anyone' so Aaliyah says. He loves his work out set and anything to do with the gym. Jay and Eric- Fraternal twins. They have different fathers because his mom was cheating, but is now happily married to a new man who will probably leave with her money in about two months. She doesn't seem to mind. Alex and Toni- Sisters who grew up with these oh- so famous boys. They've been close for years and don't really talk to any other girls aside from one another. They're close in age and with each other. I guess you could say they're 'conjoined at the hip'. When these people come together due to an incident resulting in them being stuck in school for twelve hours one night what will happen after? Will they keep in contact? Will Liyah find their arrogance too much? Or will she simply continue on like nothing happened?
