Tim is about to graduate from high school. He goes to parties with friends, takes exams, and has his first date with a classmate. At night, he makes videos of himself displaying his masculinity, declaring his hatred of women, and announcing his plan to go on a killing spree on the last day of school. But the closer his self-proclaimed “Judgment Day” comes, the harder it is for him to live up to his archetypal ideal of masculinity.
