James is an avid paintball enthusiast and receives a high-end paintball gun for his birthday. His father involves him in building a fence for their new home's backyard, which borders an alleyway.

At his new school, James encounters bullying from Gary, a large Maori student who was one of the taggers. However, he also forms a friendship with Gary's cousin Tane, who shares his interest in paintball. James joins a competitive paintball team led by an older player named Darren, who recognizes his natural talent as a sniper and takes him under his wing.
When Gary and his friends plan to vandalize the fence again, James enlists help from his paintball team. They set up an elaborate ambush with another team, successfully defending the fence by pelting the would-be taggers and their van with paintballs. The entire operation is captured on video from multiple angles and becomes a viral hit on YouTube with 15 million views.
