Plot After his father dies in a car accident, 17-year-old Kale Brecht becomes a troubled outcast. During Spanish class, Señor Gutierrez reprimands Kale for poor performance and mentions his recently deceased father, which leads to Kale attacking him. Gutierrez sues Kale for the assault, and a sympathetic judge sentences Kale to three months house arrest, with an ankle monitor and a proximity sensor.
On Kale's first day of house arrest, Detective Parker explains the purpose of the monitor and how it functions. The officer overseeing him is revealed to be Señor Gutierrez's cousin. Kale watches television and plays video games until his frustrated mother Julie cancels his Xbox Live subscription and cuts his television's cord. Bored, Kale watches his neighborhood with binoculars, including his attractive new neighbor Ashley Carlson, and Robert Turner, a solitary man. He accidentally trips his proximity sensor after chasing pranking children. A police car quickly arrives, and Kale is handcuffed by Officer Gutierrez. Afterward, Kale sets up a line marking the edge of the allowed zone, and is careful not to step outside it.
