Plot
In 1995, disgruntled 9th-grade student John Procter pulls out a gun and opens fire at some of his classmates at the fictional Thomas Edison High School in Boston, Massachusetts. While pleaded to by a nerd named Scott and his religious friend David, Procter shoots them and several of his friends down before pointing the gun at himself and committing suicide.

15 years later, Jake Hampton, a Patagonian exchange student from Rivadavia City, lands in Boston to study at the high school. His first semester goes on with no incidents. On December 2, which happens to fall on the 15th anniversary of the school shooting, Jake walks into an old part of the school. He then finds himself confronted by the ghost of Procter, demanding that he cry.

Instead, Hampton bravely berates the ghost, but runs away after he is threatened. The next day, two female students are found dead in the same abandoned corridor of the school, having died of what appeared to be gunshot wounds. Hampton ends up wondering whether Procter's ghost has anything to do with it or his descendant is going to finish the job for him, and tries to consult the ghosts of the 21 victims of the shooting incident for evidence.

In the final confrontation at the school auditorium during the remembrance vigil, Hampton and his friends: athlete Freddie, wannabe rapper Tyrone and fashionista Laurie, bravely confront Procter, telling him to calm down. The school principal Randy and members of the faculty arrive too late as the doors are locked and jammed shut by Procter's angry spirit. Tyrone tries to confiscate his gun but proves impervious as Procter's spirit is too powerful.

Hampton tries to summon the 21 ghosts, but Procter taunts him telling him that he killed them long ago. Procter causes a shooting, as he did 15 years prior, although his gun, now upgraded, functions similar to a machine gun. With that, all the students, except for Hampton, are easily killed. Proctor finally appears to deal with Hampton himself. Hampton screams in anguish as Proctor shoots him and finally kills himself off.

The film ends with a news report on the permanent closure of Thomas Edison High and its students being given automatic A+ grades on their report cards as compensation. Procter is heard saying he got what he asked for and grunts, having completed his revenge. The film ends here.
