In the opening black and white sequence, a teenage girl with a hood on walks into a burger joint, she orders and the cashier has a startled look when she sees her. When the girl walks into the restaurant everybody in the room is looking at her. A boy in the room asks his mom "Why does the lady look like that?" The boy's mother tells him to stop for everybody now is staring at her. It is revealed that the girl has a distinctive burn on one half of her face. Suddenly, she yells at them to stop staring and says she did not choose to look that way.

Sometime earlier... a South Asian boy is constantly being bullied by a much larger tormentor in class. Another scene shows a nerd girl named Emily, who is by her locker, is approached by three girls, named Kelly, Bridget, and Heather, who emotionally attack her and taunt her for crying. A little later, two teen nerd boys, Jack and Dane, are in a field setting up bear traps. At lunch, the outcast students are all sitting quietly at a lunch table until one of the bullies throws his milk box on one of the bullied kids books. He approaches him, giving back his milk box. Another kid named Kurtis, who is friends with both the outcasts and the popular group, approaches the group of people and invites them to one of his video shoots on Friday. The outcasts talk among themselves and say they like him and they tell each other to make sure Kurtis does not end up being at the party.

The next scene shows their home life. Dane talks to himself and points a gun at his own head while in his bedroom, while his uneducated and negletful parents fight downstairs. Another scene shows Ravi at home with his suttle and emtionally barren Indian family; a depressing quiet life where nobody talks or even looks at each other except for the house maid.

At the video shoot, Bradley and Tommy both confront Ravi and Dane in the boys room, and break Ravi camera for no reason. Bradley tells Dane that he bullies him because he will not do anything about it. Afterwords, Ravi tells Kurtis about what happened and Kurtis warns Bradley to leave Parker. The beligerent Bradley refuses and starts a fight wtih Kurtis.

Jack, leaving his home, is talking to his father who is a mechanic working on his car, about what he is going to do. He tells him that he has a letter about it and that he'll probably be angry. The father, obviously ignoring him, continues on working as Jack leaves.

At night, Bradley and two others are pulled over by the cops on their way to a party, and are caught smoking marijuana. They are let go after getting almost all their weed confiscated. Meanwhile, the group of outcasts are around a fire talking about hell and doing God's work in tormenting their tormentors. They put on costumes and blend in with a costume filled house with a hidden camera. They then lace a punch bowl with chloroform causing everyone to pass out.

The people in the party awaken to a loud noise from a boom box and are in chains. One of the boys, who is an outcast, mocks the situation. They then bring a gun and threaten their guests. One outcast student severely cuts a boy's face and then his leg. They pull their victim to a room where they then ask who wants to be let go. One of them raises their hand and runs away just to step on one of the bear traps while being pursued by other outcasts on ATVs and dirt bikes. Bradley, the worst tormentor, is stabbed in the back several times by Dane, severing his spinal cord, leaving Bradley sobbing and begging for his life.

Kurtis, who attended the party, is secretly given a key by Ravi in which he unlocks himself from his chains and runs outside to make it to a neighbor's house who kills the motor vehicle kids and then gets killed himself after walking into a trap. Later on, Ravi gets stabbed in the heart by Dane when he finds out.

Kurtis calls the police and returns to the hosue where he saves another boy from being de-tongued. He shoots Andy as Dane orders him to cut his tongue out and Kurtis gets shot in the arm by Dane. Dane walks up to him about to finish the job and Emily shoots Dane, saving Kurtis. Emily says that she has had enough of the party and Jack also. Jack appears and he shoots and kills Emily and as Jack is about to shoot himself, the police arrive, with their guns pointed at him, and say it's not worth it, and Jack says, "It's too late". Jack pulls the trigger.

The next scene shows a TV news reporter detailing the outcast gang as a group of students who had abudcted and tortured the group "without cause" (the irony being, of course, that they had plenty) and paints their victims in a saint like manner. Kelly, one of the survivors who was not tortured or disfigured, unlike Bridget and Heather whom were burned and scaled with acid, proceeds to take a bunch of pills to kill herself as she suffers from survivors guilt (and the knowledge that she, in part, caused everything that occurred). Kurtis, who now has a cast on his broken leg, is shown to be still emtionally scared after he hears somebody with a dirt bike implying that his escape from death is still affecting him (the boy on the motorcycle is actually the only surviving outcast member now hiding in plain sight).

The final scene goes back to the same black and white sequence where it is revealed that Bridget, who got her face burned by Emily, is the disfigured girl from the beginning of the film.
