Plot synopsis

Brendan Frye (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a student at a California high school where his piercing intelligence has set him apart from his peers. Unlike most outsiders, he has all the angles and complexities of the social circle figured out, but still chooses to live outside them. That is until he gets an erratic phone call from his ex-girlfriend, Emily (Emilie de Ravin of Lost). She makes almost no sense, rambling about she screwed up; she didn't know that the brick was bad and that the Pin's on it now. Shortly after she disappears. Brendan, who's stil in love with her, decides to find her and make sure she's ok. Brendan enlists the aid of his only true peer, The Brain (Matt O'Leary) to shake things up, while also keeping the assistant principal of his school (Richard Roundtree) slightly informed of what's going on. His intrusion into the tightly knit circle of high school cliques brings him into the lives of several people including rich-girl sophisticate Laura (Nora Zehetner), intimidating Tugger (Noah Fleiss), substance-abusing Dode (Noah Segan), seductive Kara (Meagan Good), jock Brad (Brian J. White) and - most ominously - non-student The Pin (Lukas Haas). The Pin is his one and only link to the truths about Emily, what happened to her and himself.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack CD of the movie will be released on March 21st, 2006 by Lakeshore Records and contains a full unedited performance of The Sun Whose Rays Are All Ablaze by Nora Zehetner, along with the Anton Karas song which is playing in the Pin's kitchen and the big band version of Frankie and Johnn which is playing at the masquerade party.
