Matthew has always been a popular student and hockey player. But after an altercation with a tough kid named Dillon at hockey camp, Matt finds himself number one on the bully's hit list. Matt manages to befriend Dillon by going along with whatever he's told to do, but as the boys' antics escalate, Matt realizes that he must break ranks with Dillon and deal with the consequences. Misconduct combines fast hockey action with a unique experience of bullying from the perspective of an unlikely target.
