Set in modern day, a young man in high school mistreats anyone good around him, until he has a fateful accident which changes his life.

All they had to do was change some of the evangelical themes to Mormon themes. But also for some bizarre reason, they changed all the names of the cast members, even though they are the same people. Apparently they thought that by changing the names, you would never know this was the same movie.
