While driving to school, Kristen Marshall, senior class president of her high school, accidentally hits Richard Ashbury, a socially minded cyclist posting flyers for a food and clothing drive.

Kristen and Jason accompany their friend Graham to his father's lake house, where he has also invited Richard.

Jason returns to the lake house, claiming that it was too slippery from the rain to carry Richard back.

Kristen offers to drive Richard's body to the police herself but reconsiders and turns around halfway.

Kristen convinces Jason to knock Graham out and beat in his skull with a fire iron.

She went on to praise the film's "impressive production values" as well as its "slick visuals and panoramic scenery.

"[8] John Maynard of The Washington Post listed the film as one of the evening's "TV highlights".
