Descent is a 2007 American rape-and-revenge thriller film directed by Talia Lugacy and produced by and starring Rosario Dawson.

In the winter of her senior year, Maya attends a fraternity party and meets a student named Jared who immediately starts courting her using all his eloquence behind which there is nothing but lies.

They start to make out, but when Maya tells him to stop, Jared soon reveals his true self and brutally rapes her while uttering dehumanizing slurs in her ear.

She disconnects herself from society and other familiar surroundings while struggling to break free of the resulting depression and addiction.

One day, she catches him cheating on an exam and threatens to report it, but instead uses it as an opportunity to lure Jared to her apartment.
