An outsider by nature, Brendan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is forced to penetrate the

elaborate ranks of the high-school social scene and its more insidious underbelly when

the body of his former girlfriend Emily is found lying lifeless in a remote creek. Though

the pair had been on the outs, Brendan can't seem to shake the hysterical phone call that

he received from Emily the day before her body was discovered, a call in which she

rattled off a number of cryptic words: "brick," "pin," "tug," "poor Frisco." He's

determined to find the guilty party, and to do that he'll need to uncover the meaning

behind her enigmatic phone call. A timeless film, this is a must see for all independent film

makers.
