On a beautiful college campus, something ugly is about to be spread around. A bit of gossip that was told is starting to take a frightening turn. Who could it have offended and how far will the person on the other side of the gossip handle the embarrassing situation.
A sense of unreality permeates the movie, which allows for some far-fetched plot turns. Far-fetched is OK. Close-fetched thrillers aren't worth watching.

rotten:
All style and no substance.

fresh:
A taut second half in which the plot turns back on itself in some surprising twists makes up for the lethargic first half.
