 Katie Holmes Starr s as the naive, and very bright Leigh Ann Watson. A senior that is one point from being her class  valedictorian and from getting a scholarship to Harvard. That one thing in her way is her sly History teacher, Mrs. Eve Tingle. Mrs. Tingle is the teacher of a cutthroat class, in which Leigh Ann is getting a "C" for. The school s outcast Luke Churner snatches Tingle s upcoming test answers, and delivers it to Leigh Ann. Mrs. Tingle finds it in Leigh Ann s bag and reports it to the principal, who luckily was not present. That night Leigh Ann, her friend "Jo Lyn" and Luke visit Mrs. Tingle s house to reason and confront her. The conversation ends in a deadly accident. Leigh Ann and her friends clean up the place and carries Mrs. Tingles unconscious body to her bed and ties her up. She wakes up and the 3 students try and compromise, but does Mrs. Tingle just want to loosen them up before her own attack.
