Broke Down...Help!

Alright so leaving the movies tonight I get into my car put the key in dash lights up for a half second and then everything shuts down. No power, and it will not start. We tried jumping it even though the battery is only two months old. The car's interior lights and dash lights would turn on with it hooked up to the battery cables taking a charge but we were out there near a hour and nothing. I tried to crank it and once it looked like sparks flew from the fuse box and battery, after that nothing, just clicking. We waited about 30mins and no starting still. We unhooked it and like I stated it wont do a thang without being hooked up with the cables, no lights, no nothing. We even tried to push start it as a last resort and it wouldnt even start then after several tries. So I left it at the movies. Im going back to check it all out tommorow and probably have it towed.

Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Brand new battery, plugs, coils.04' 6spd. 26k miles.

Thanks guys
