Synopsis
When a troubled teen at an all-girls boarding school decides she no longer wants to go to school. When her aunt does not indulge her request, she invents a rumor about the two head mistresses and bullies or blackmails some of the other girls to go along with the ruse. It is a web of deceit that ends in tragedy.
