The movie concerns the re-opening of a high school after a young boy named Devon had been apparently murdered across the street a decade prior by his parents, who were themselves killed soon after. The movie follows Symphony (Karan Ashley), whose father defended the boy's parents in court and has herself been haunted by the sight of a blood-soaked Devon years ago. As the school re-opens a decade later, Devon (seemingly) reemerges, slaughtering high schoolers with a circular saw blade attached to a baseball bat. But is it really him? What is the motive? who really caused the deaths all those years ago?
