Andrew (Dane DeHaan) is a high school teenager who starts to videotape his life on a camera he recently purchased. At home, he's bullied by an abusive and alcoholic father, who is bitter about a firefighting injury that forced him to retire and the fact that Andrew's mother is dying from cancer. At school, he's bullied by fellow classmates.
One night, Andrew and his cousin, Matt (Alex Russell) attend a local rave located in a converted farm barn. Matt unsuccessfully attempts to chat up with Casey (Ashley Hinshaw), a fellow student, who is filming the rave for her blog. Meanwhile, Andrew is punched by a raver who was angry at the thought that Andrew was filming his girlfriend.
Outside, an upset Andrew is approached by his soon-to-be friend, Steve (Michael B. Jordan), who tells him that he and Matt have found something strange and they want him to come film it. They have found a mysterious hole in the ground which emits a loud and strange sound. The three of them proceed into the hole where they find a large, glowing object. They touch it, which causes their noses to bleed rapidly. The object then turns red and the camera blacks out.
Several weeks later, Andrew, Matt, and Steve have developed telekinetic powers from their experience in the hole and demonstrate the ability to move, throw, and stop objects with their mind. They then decide to visit the hole once again but discover that it has sunk in and the area has been sealed off by the Sheriffʻs department. They then use their powers to play practical jokes on people, including moving a woman's car to a different space, which causes Steve's nose to bleed. It then becomes apparent that overuse of their powers causes nose bleeds and mental trauma. Matt theorizes that their powers function like a muscle, becoming stronger each time they use them, but it seems that Andrew's abilities are accelerating at a faster rate than both Matt and Steve.
While driving during a thunderstorm an impatient motorist continues to honk at the three guys, which prompts Andrew to force the car over a barrier and into a nearby river, with ambiguous intentions. Steve and Matt rescue the driver and call for help before the police and paramedics show up. Angry that Andrew put a person in the hospital, Matt insists that they set rules regarding their new found powers, including not using their powers to hurt people or using them in public.
A while later, the three discover that they can use their powers to make themselves fly and during one excursion are almost hit by a jumbo jet. Steve spirals out of control but Andrew catches him before he can hit the ground. At Steveʻs request (and as way to make himself more popular at school) Andrew enters the school talent show and proceeds to amaze his fellow students using his powers in the guise of magic. Andrew, Matt and Steve celebrate Andrew's new found popularity at a local house party. Andrew and a female classmate go upstairs to a bedroom, hopeful of losing his virginity. Instead, Andrew vomits on the girl. Steve walks in to comfort Andrew, but Andrew, infuriated, tells him to leave. The next day returning to school, Andrews new found popularity is all but gone. One of the usual bully's insults Andrew about the incident with the girl from last night, Andrew later begins to follow him, he then calls out his name, the boy turns around and Andrew yanks the boys teeth out of his mouth. Later Andrew is in a bathroom stall explaining how cleanly he pulled the teeth out, and how roughly he pulled the others, Andrew's new nature due to his powers begin to show more and more. Later that night, Matt confronts Andrew about what happened to the boy earlier. After a heated argument Matt tries to punch Andrew, but Andrew stops the punch with his powers. Matt flies out of the window in a rage.
Andrew becomes increasingly hostile and bitter due to his school and home life and starts to hang out on his own. During one confrontation with his father in their basement, Andrew flings his father across the room, storming out soon after. During a lightning storm, a concerned Steve finds an upset Andrew in the sky. Steve tries to calm and get him to come back to the ground, worried about his safety, and out of the clouds; but Andrew will hear none of it and continues to tell Steve to go away. As Andrew's temper increases Steve is suddenly struck by lighting, and is killed instantly. At the funeral, Matt shows concern about the mysterious circumstances regarding Steve's death and over Andrew's reclusive nature.
At home, Andrew's mother is deteriorating and his father berates Andrew for having an expensive camera whilst he struggles to pay for his mother's medication. In an attempt to come up with money for medication, Andrew uses his powers to mug some local thugs and rob a gas station. However, an explosion during the latter incident puts Andrew in the hospital and under police investigation. At his bedside, his upset father informs the unconscious Andrew that his mother has died and angrily blames him for her death, he then grabs Andrew and is about to strike him, causing Andrew to suddenly awaken and blow out the outer wall of the hospital room.
Nearby, Matt has an intense nosebleed and, sensing a problem with Andrew, drives with Casey to the nearby hospital. Andrew appears, floating outside the hospital window and drops his father, who Matt proceeds to save. Matt tries to reason with Andrew, but Andrew is convinced he has evolved (referring to himself as "an apex predator"), showing no compassion or remorse. A battle commences, with Andrew crashing a helicopter and throwing police cars, officers and civilians alike. Matt begs Andrew to stop, but his rage causes him to inflict even more damage. Eventually, left with no other alternative, Matt desperately forces a nearby statue spear through Andrew, killing him instantly. The police surround Matt, but he flies away.
The final scene shows Matt, with Andrew's camera, landing in Tibet where Andrew previously said he wanted to visit due to its peaceful and tranquil nature. Matt vows to both use his powers for good and find out what exactly happened to them in the hole. With that, Matt says, "you made it", into Andrew's camera and proceeds to fly away.
