Shortly after noon on an otherwise ordinary day at DeKalb Elementary school, Steven (Bo Mitchell), a mentally unstable man in his 20s, enters the front office and asks if he can use the phone. He then pulls out a semi-automatic rifle.After he orders the school receptionist, Cassandra (Tarra Riggs), to have the building evacuated, he holds her hostage and tells her to call 911. With Cassandra as his go-between, Steven tries to navigate the troubled waters he has entered.
Inspired by an actual 911 call placed during a shooting incident at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.
