Harlon Mackey has been tormented by visions since his alcoholic father forced him to kill a rabbit while hunting as a boy. Now that Harlon is a bullied high school teen, his undiagnosed mental illness is getting worse. He begins to hear voices, and his imagination encourages him to carry out violent acts. Things begin to look up when Julie, a rebellious young girl, moves to town and befriends Harlon.
