Fight. procedure one can use during the event of an active shooter.

High school student Zoe Hull struggles with the death of her mother, Jennifer, and her relationship with her father, Todd, is strained. On the way to school, Zoe witnesses classmate Chris Jelick planting a strange device in a field, but writes it off as a prank. At school, Zoe's best friend Lewis attempts to ask her to prom but Zoe leaves for the bathroom when a drink is spilled on her.

Around town, several incendiary devices are set off, distracting first responders. A van carrying four school shooters crashes into the school cafeteria. The leader, Tristan Voy, orders his accomplices Chris Jelick, Anna Jelick, and Kip Quade to begin killing students, but most of them are held hostage for creative purposes. Lewis, who has access to the school's Facebook page, is tasked with live streaming by Tristan. Zoe crawls through the bathroom ceiling and escapes the school. She begins warning students and helping them escape.

Tristan calls the front office to alert them of the shooting. Because school protocol requires that the shooting be confirmed, the school's principal and security guard are sent to the cafeteria to investigate. The principal attempts to talk Tristan down, blaming himself for Tristan's rage. Tristan admits that the entire shooting was a ploy for attention and he only seeks to gain infamy. Tristan kills the principal but allows the unarmed security guard to escape, commenting on how unprepared the guard was for an actual shooting. With the situation finally confirmed, the front office calls a lockdown.

Since the shooters are taking hostages instead of actively shooting, Sheriff Tarsy wants to coordinate a safer response but it proves to be difficult. An explosion in the front office kills the first police officer to respond. While Anna surveys the damage, Zoe deduces that the shooters want a lockdown as it lets them catch people more easily so she tries to warn more classes, but Anna finds her. Zoe fights Anna and kills her with her own gun in self-defense. A police officer arrives at Tristan's home to see that he has murdered his mother. The media picks up the livestream, much to Tristan's delight, and he begins removing students from their classrooms where they are sheltered in place.
