The film is based on David Schickler's short story, published in the "New Yorker" magazine's 2000 summer fiction issue, about a student at a private high school who falls for her teacher and invites him to dinner at her parents' house, where they ask him to marry their daughter.
A 17-year-old New York City high-school student feels certain that she inadvertently played a role in a traffic accident that has claimed a woman's life. In her attempts to set things right she meets with opposition at every step. Torn apart with frustration, she begins emotionally brutalizing her family, her friends, her teachers, and most of all, herself. She has been confronted quite unexpectedly with a basic truth: that her youthful ideals are on a collision course against the realities and compromises of the adult world.
