After escaping from near death Donnie Darko, a delusional high-school student, is visited by a demonic rabbit with eerie visions of the past, and deadly predictions for the future. Donnie Darko is a disturbed adolescent from a semi-functional, upper-middle class family, gifted with a sharp intellect and vivid imagination but he is also a bit weird. Donnie's off his medication, and when his bedroom is obliterated by a falling airliner engine, he becomes increasingly delusional and convinced the world will end in 28 days. Aided by an imaginary friend, he embarks on an increasingly crazed series of actions, which horrify his teachers, scare his parents and amaze his friends.
