Chris (Michael Vartan) and Tim (Matthew Lillard) murder their roommate, Rand (Randall Batinkoff), but stage everything to appear as a suicide, all because of a legend they'd heard that doing so would earn them perfect grade point averages at their college. Keri Russell plays Chris's girlfriend, Emma, and Dana Delany plays campus psychologist Dr. Ashley, who starts to figure out what is really going on all around her.
