[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Anton Tobias (Sawa) is your average lazy, stoner teenager. He has two caring parents (Willard and Ray) and two cool best friends, Pnub (Henson) and Mick (Green). He has a crush on Molly, the beautiful girl across the street (Alba).

Everything is going fine until a string of murders plagues the town. Then, when Anton's parents wind up dead, all the clues point to Anton. After killing his two best friends, he learns that his right hand has become possessed. Pnub and Mick decide not to go to heaven and instead return to their former bodies. With their help, Anton must stop his possessed hand before it can kill Molly.
