But as he steps into the closed candy store and sees his friends stuffing candy in their pockets, his curiosity leads him down a path he never expected. In the darkness, with the laughter of his friends urging him on, Eric joins in. But the moment red and blue lights flash through the store's windows, his night takes a terrifying turn. Dragged to the police car, handcuffed beside a heartbroken Ethan, Eric realizes his careless actions have brought them both into a nightmare he can't escape. As he faces the court, his family's disappointment is a heavy weight that forces him to ask himself a life-altering question: What would he change if given another chance?
