This is the story of a shy and outcast high-schooler, Carrie White, who gradually discovers that she has telekinetic powers. Repressed by her controlling, ultra-religious mother and endlessly bullied by her peers at school, her efforts to fit in lead to a dramatic confrontation during the senior prom when her classmates play a vicious prank against her. Carrie's powers will wreak havoc so tormenting and destructive that the town may never recover.
