Cassie Thomas, a 30-year-old medical school dropout, lives with her parents. Years earlier, her classmate Al Monroe raped her best friend Nina Fisher; there was no investigation by the school or legal system. Now Cassie spends her nights feigning drunkenness in clubs, allowing men to take her to their homes, and revealing her sobriety when they try to take advantage of her.
