Katie has a field hockey scholarship on the line, but drunken exploits haunt her, especially a car accident that went unpunished; now Alec, the dangerous boy who took the blame, threatens blackmail. Katie's struggles with Alec's intimidation, her sobriety, and secrets build suspense until the conclusion, but this promising psychological thriller is weighed down by the heavy-handed message.
