Troubled by the sudden death of his father, teenager Kale Brecht attacks his teacher who invokes his father while reprimanding him at school. For the assault, Kale is sentenced by a sympathetic judge to three months under house arrest, with an ankle monitor and a proximity sensor.
Kale is initially happy with his punishment, watching television and playing video games, but his mother Julie soon cuts his cable and internet access. Kale’s boredom leads him to watch his neighbourhood, including his next-door neighbour Robert Turner. One night Kale becomes suspicious of Turner after he returns home in a 1960s Ford Mustang with a dented fender, which matches the description of a car given on a news report of a serial killer at large.
