Plot

Two college women, Sara and Alex, make a twisted agreement after stress in their personal lives: they will kill each other's archenemies and never be suspected for the right murder, getting away with two crimes. As they grow closer, the tension between them turns sexual, and then to something deeper. However, when only one of the women goes through with it and begins to set the other up to be framed for murder, she realizes if she's going to stay out of jail, she's going to have to come up with a plot just as twisted of her own.
