The town of Downers Grove looks like your average suburban neighborhood -- but Downers Grove has a disturbing secret.... For the past eight years, one senior from every high school graduating class has met a bizarre death right before graduation day. And this year, Chrissie Swanson has a terrible feeling that she is going to be the one to die. Can Chrissie survive the curse of Downers Grove or will she, like those seniors before her, fall prey to the town's deadly secret?
The characters' actions remain incomprehensible, even as they're explicitly laid out.

Too dumb to be scary, too listlessly written and directed to be suspenseful and too unpleasant to work as camp ...
