Its kinda hard to explain so I stole this off of some website:
When Dean (Jamie Bell) discovers the body of his best friend, Troy, hanging in his bedroom, he doesn't bother telling any of the parents in his postcard perfect California neighborhood, figuring they wouldn't care. While Dean shrugs his way through high school, the death of Troy - the school's leading drug dealer - throws the seemingly idyllic neighbourhood into mass meltdown, setting off a chain of events that will rock the directionless teens and the self-absorbed adults of the town.
