A murder/suicide pact between two high school students is laid out in the shocking feature film HEART OF AMERICA. On the last day of school, the duo load up on weapons, and arrive at the school to carry out their grim revenge against the students and administration that has made their lives hell. HEART OF AMERICA mirrors Gus Van Sant´s ELEPHANT in subject matter, but carves out a stylistic niche of its own as the action plays out in real time.
