In Lawrence Ville, the poor student of University Colby Alicia Campbell (Mia Kirshner), had an overdose and is in coma in the intensive care unit of the local hospital. Sheriff Artie Bonner (Taye Diggs) is called by the Dean (Edmund J. Kearney) and intimidated to carry out a shallow and discreet investigation, since the school is very dependent of the wealthy families of the riches students, and a scandal would jeopardize its reputation and consequently its income. The mother of Alicia, Connie Campbell (Glynnis O'Connor), is blaming her new upper class friends of drugging her daughter. Hadley Ashton (Meredith Monroe), Sidney Connors (Dominique `Lolita' Swan), Julianne McDowell Levinson (Rachel True) and Trevor (Scott Bairstow) have become her friend a few time ago, and Alicia was seduced by the `world of the rich people'. Through interviews and investigation of the manipulative students, Sheriff Bonner discovers the truth. I liked this amoral movie. The screenplay is intriguing and the story is presented in pieces through flashbacks along the investigation of Artie Bonner. In the end, none of the characters is really like we supposed they were. The problem with this movie is the age of the lead actresses. It is very hard to believe that, women of about thirty years old in real life can really play the roles of young women. Anyway, it is a good entertainment. My vote is seven.
