Plot

Sharon McKay (Tatyana M. Ali) meets Jerry (Sean Murray) and his sister Ann Price (Charlotte Ross). After Sharon turns down Jerry, he falls into a state of depression, gets drunk, and wanders onto some train tracks and is killed. Ann believes Sharon is responsible for Jerry's death. Ann decides to frame Sharon for her (Ann's) murder with the help of her friend Paul. Things go as planned on the hiking trip that Sharon, Ann and several of their friends attend, as Sharon then is accused of Ann's murder, but Ann never resurfaces and it seems nothing is as it appears to be.

    • Differences between the novel and film

  • In the book, Ann's and Jerry's last name is Rice (possibly an in-joke reference to the author of Interview with the Vampire).
  • In the movie, Sharon's case never makes it to court because of lacking evidence, while the first half of the novel is devoted to Sharon's murder trial (partly because it sets up the characters and story).
  • Several key supporting characters from the book are cut from the movie: Judge Warner, District Attorney Margaret Hanover, Lieutenant George Artso.
  • In the novel, Sharon never kills anyone, despite it ending with her being arrested for Chad's "murder" (actually a suicide), while Paul lands on death row for Ann's murder. While Chad commits suicide in the movie, Sharon is not blamed for it; however, the final scene shows Sharon severing Paul's rope as he hangs on the side of a cliff, before it cuts to her relaxing on a plane (presumably on her way to New York City to attend Juilliard). The nature of the scene (whether it is a fantasy or takes place in reality) is not clarified.
