An unsolved murder at Portland's infamous Paranoid Park brings detectives to a local high school, propelling a young skater into a moral odyssey where he must not only deal with the pain and disconnect of adolescence but the consequences of his own actions. Teenage skater Alex is called to the office along with a couple other guys regarding the death of a security officer (an accident he caused and had wiped out of his mind until then.) Alex is now faced with telling the truth or letting the truth be exposed.
