Synopsis
Last semester, Nicole Werner was killed in a car accident. A blonde and beautiful prom queen and straight-A student, Nicole was a prized sister in the most powerful sorority on campus. Now she's gone, and the college is in mourning. At the wheel that night was her boyrfiend Craig. He has no memory of the crash, but the entire student body blame him for Nicole's death. Haunted by guilt, he is also deeply disturbed by the reaction of his classmates. As winter sets in, and the nights darken, the everyday tragedy of Nicole's death turns into a gripping drama. The candelit vigils and rituals of remembrance become intense and fetishistic. A new class on the folklore of dying and the undead is hugely oversubscribed. Soon, students are reporting eerie sightings of Nicole's spirit in the crumbling college halls. Craig's roomate, Perry, doesn't believe in ghosts. A no-nonsense type who always thought Nicole was manipulative as she was charming, he refuses to be swept up by the hysteria. But then he experiences an unsettling night-time visitation of his own - and his curiosity is immediately aroused. Soon, Perry discovers that the local newspaper concealed crucial details about the crash. Clearly something strange is going on. But when he and his fellow sceptics join forces to unearth the past, powerful forces move to silence them ....
