Paul is driving his 14 year old daughter Sarah. They pick up her best friend Charlie. The girls go off into the woods for a bathroom break. After awhile, Paul looks for the girls to find Sarah standing on the edge of a dam. She tells him that she pushed Charlie to her death. Sarah seems shocked and unaware. She is still angry at her divorced father's absence and his new girlfriend Jessica. Paul tells his ex-wife Christine and they struggle to handle the revelation. Charlie's volatile recovering alcoholic father comes looking for his missing daughter.
This is a nice indie noir. It's a nice morality ride down. It starts off with an interesting psychopath daughter which turns into a fine teenage rebellion. It would be great to have more intense thrills and I don't understand what they're doing with the backpack. It seems obvious to dump the backpack at the dam especially since they go back there anyways. Did she think that it would dissolve? The filmmaking needs more style to increase the intensity. Otherwise, this is a great little noir.
