The film is a tragedy about two young brothers who are drawn into the world of white supremacist gangs. In the "present day" of the film, the younger sibling, Danny Vinyard (Edward Furlong), is in trouble at school, for writing a paper praising Hitler's "Mein Kampf". The headmaster, a black man named Sweeney (Avery Brooks), still holds out hope for the kid, and orders him to write a more soul-searching paper, about the effect of his older brother Derek on his life. Derek (Edward Norton), has just been released after a three-year stretch in prison, and making plans for his family to move away from their present house which is a dump. The fact that Danny's skinhead chums still hang around the house is not helping anything either, since Derek is a transformed character, and despises the praise he and his brother get from these fanatics.
