The story involves five misfit teenagers who are doing detention on a Saturday evening. A stylized television sci-fi show titled Stranger Than Fiction with its charismatic host Jack Strange airs its latest episode. This prelude introduces a classified incident that allegedly took place at a high school somewhere in Asia.
Tough skater girl Stanlei cruises down the school hallways creating havoc while the other classmates gather on the school steps as evening creeps in, awaiting teacher Mr. Hughes.
Characters include Zack the nerd, Tammy miss popular, Keiko the Japanese exchange student and Omar the jock. Meanwhile, Stanlei visits the eccentric science teacher Professor Rosencrantz, and after a bizarre talk involving toast, reasoning and cats she makes her way to detention. Mr. Hughes lectures the class on their behavior as Stanlei enters. After an ugly exchange of words between the two, Mr. Hughes leaves the class to continue their detention.
As the night progresses, an elite group of Space Ninjas invade the secluded school. After the Space Ninjas kill Mr. Hughes, the students are left to fend for themselves, trapped on the school grounds, fighting for survival.
As the hunt continues, the body count rises, with each student being killed off one by one. The remaining students seek help from Professor Rosencrantz. Together they decipher why this is happening and devise the best plan of escape. As the number of living students continues to drop, the survivors manage to kill a few ninjas. The Space Ninjas close in on the last surviving members of the group until only Stanlei is left. She engages in battle with the last Space Ninja. As night turns to day, the CIA surrounds the school grounds and the men in black enter the crime scene. The cigar-smoking Big Boss orders his men to sweep through the school campus, erasing any evidence of alien activity, making this incident another episode for the Stranger Than Fiction TV show, asking the viewer – was this fact or fiction? Their quest is to try to survive the night.
