Plot: Sara (Minka Kelly), a talented young design student from Iowa, arrives in Los Angeles eager to start college. Her roommate Rebecca (Leighton Meester) immediately takes Sara under her wing.

But when Sara makes more friends on campus, Rebecca isolates herself and grows oddly resentful of her roommate’s social life. As Sara’s romance with new boyfriend Stephen (Cam Gigandet) unfolds and her mentor, successful designer Irene (Danneel Harris), comes to town, she has less and less time to spend with Rebecca, who becomes even more determined to have Sara all to herself.

But as Sara tries to distance herself from her increasingly obsessed former roommate, Rebecca spins violently out of control, making an explosive final confrontation between the two inevitable.
