Genre - Mystery/Thriller
Setting - Party, home, a quiet town
The film begins at a busy house party. It is a typical party
full of teenagers drinking and meeting people. Everything seems perfectly
normal until the main character, in an incredibly drunken state, walks into a
quiet back room. In front of her, her innocent friend is lying dead on the
floor. No one seemingly knows how or when she died but she is sure someone is
to blame.
Police have ruled that the death included no foul play and
she died of a heroin and alcohol overdose. She refuses to believe it eve though
everyone else accepts it and try to continue with life. Her obsession with her
friend’s death begins privately but progresses beyond her imagination.
She suspects everybody, even her closest relatives and
family. She analyses every small detail of the death. She has frequent
nightmares about the night, which become increasingly more vivid. It consumes
her. She becomes a complete recluse. Her personal relationships become
incredibly strained. The steady progression into madness leads the people
around her to think that she was involved with her friend’s passing. She is
sent for questioning by her worried parents and friends. However after asking her numerous questions
about the night, the police believe that it is not suitable to interrogate her
anymore as she does not seem at all responsible and suffering from anxiety.
One night though, she has the most intense nightmare about
that night. It is a clear flashback of the real events of the night. She sees
her friend in that back room. They seem to just be having a regular drunken
conversation but it gets more and more aggressive. Her friend taunts the girl
about her boyfriend but apologises immediately afterwards. The girl seems to
accept. Afterwards, she comes back to her friend and offers to share a bag of
cocaine with her from which she accepts. The girl lets her friend try it first.
It is revealed that the cocaine is actually powdered heroin, which the girl
knew. This leads her friend to die of an overdose.
