Ann (Andrea Gall) thought she had it all figured out. She’d go to college with her high school sweetheart; they’d stay together all four years, then get married and have some kids. But now she’s stuck living with a bunch of sorority sisters she can’t stand, while her man spends more time swimming with rich future CEOs than with her. Lucky for Ann — maybe — her high school best friend from the wrong side of the tracks, Dawn (Dana Wise), comes to school not to learn, but to balance the scales for our heroine.

Teh director and writer of this film, Leslie Delano, wrote the description on IMDB: “What happens when you go off to college and you find yourself out with the “in” crowd?… You call on your childhood friend to come “make nice” with the people who are being mean to you…and with a friend like Dawn, you won’t have any enemies. Welcome to the Dollhouse meets I Spit on Your Grave.”

Delano also made a short, The Wretched, about a woman trying to deal with an eating disorder while simultaneously trying to manage a bad marriage. Joe Bob is in it! 

The film thrives on the friction between Dawn’s unpolished, blue-collar aggression and the calculated, elitist cruelty of the Swim Elite. And it doesn’t hold back on showing the casual bigotry of the fraternity/sorority crowd. They view Ann as poor white trash simply because she’s on scholarship and doesn’t fit their aesthetic.

I really dug this. Everyone feels real, someone sniffs crushed glass thinking it’s blow, there’s a made-for-TV BDSM club, and as I am a rich racist, I will forever delight in the destruction of the one percent. As you would imagine, I am totally on Dawn’s side and wish she would smoke a cigarette and stand in front of a burning school at the close of this.
