According to Havok's Indigogo page, The Violent is set in the mid 90s amongst a tight-knit group of punks and skins. The film follows a teenager in his final year of high school as he is led down a path of crime, and must ultimately reconcile his own violent nature, or be consumed by it.

Havok, who will act in the film will also co-produce with Foo Fighters' "White Limo" video director, Kelly Jones, and Clint Carney, visual artist and singer for System Syn. This isn't Havok's first acting gig. For a few weeks in 2011, the singer played the lead role on Green Day's American Idiot Broadway play.

"I love the script," professes Havok in a press release. "I was telling Clint how much I liked it and he offered me a chance to be a part of the film which I was very happy to take. The Violent really appealed to me because it was so genuine. I think it represents a culture that existed in the 90s that people are vastly unaware of. If they weren't part of that culture I think it's a great look into that world, into the world of punks and skins, as well as representing a broader look into youth culture."
