In a small town in 1994, a group of high school kids go swimming at the lake during the summer break, when Joe, a high school student pushes his best friend, Nick, off the cliff when he hesitates to jump into the water. Unfortunately, Nick doesn't land correctly in the water and ends up having a spinal cord injury causing him to be a paraplegic. The whole town blames Joe for pushing his best friend into the water. Nick's parents open a case against Joe wanting him to be punished for what happened and Joe and his family fight the rest of the year in court for his freedom and their parents forbid the two boys from speaking to each other again.
