This tangle of second-tier teen talent is set in a very closed corner of the academic world. When he's tapped for membership in the super-secretive Skulls, Luke learns his future is assured. It can't be good. He pays a price that also exacts another cost from Luke for his membership.
Skulls are on the fast track to rule the world.
And if anything should step into the path of their raw ambitions, it is certain to be run over and squashed. Caleb alternates bad deeds with doing nearly the right thing until the two become so intertwined that murder is the right thing for him to do. Pallid attempts at presenting morality issues here are little more than beating the audience over the head. Rated PG-13 for violence and brief sexuality.
