## Background

Andy was a student of a college who had the high academic achievements and is also the boyfriend of a girl, named Cassidy, who is part of a sorority house and has sorority sisters named Claire, Chugs, Ellie, Megan, and Jessica. However, during a prank to get back at Megan’s boyfriend, Garrett, for cheating on her by pretending to have died from a roofie overdose, her friends, Claire, Chugs, Ellie, Cassidy, and Jessica, take her and Garrett to a lake to dump her body in. While they’re playing along, Garrett, overcome with anxiety, stabs Megan’s chest with a tire iron to free the air from her lungs to prevent her corpse floating and she ends up dying for real. Needing to cover up the accidental murder, Cassidy’s friends dump Megan’s body in a nearby mineshaft and throw the tire iron down in there as well, despite Cassidy being against it. Unable to live with the guilt, Ellie tells Andy all about the incident. Not wanting the secret to be spilled out for Cassidy’s sake, Andy plans to kill anyone who knows about the accident for her own sake.

## Biography

8 months later after Megan’s death, and after graduation, all the sisters meet up at the Theta Pi house to celebrate where they meet Megan’s sister, Maggie. There, Andy anonymously sends each of the sisters a picture of the tire iron that Megan was killed with. The girls think Garrett was the one who sent the pictures as some kind of sick joke.

Later, Chugs heads to the house of her therapist, Dr. Roseburg, to claim some pills from him in exchange for sex. While she freshens herself up, Andy appears, wearing a hooded graduation gown, and kills Dr. Roseburg and Chugs with the tire iron, now with different types of blades on each point.

Back at the Theta Pi house, as Claire and Jessica are talking about the text message in the shower room, another sorority sister, Joanna, overhears them. Seeing that someone else now knows about the murder, Andy ambushes Joanna and kills her.

During the party, Andy meets up with Cassidy and he goes around wearing the gown again while she talks with Claire. After Claire’s boyfriend, Mickey, gets caught hitting on two girls by Ellie, Mickey tries to look for her through the house’s vacant room. As he looks around, Andy ambushes him and breaks his leg, thinking that Claire might’ve told him about Megan’s death. Mickey tries to call for help through the window but the people who see him think he’s wasted, so he tries to escape through the room’s dumb waiter. Andy throws the bladed tire iron underneath the dumb waiter, blocking Mickey’s way down and then he turns it around to kill him with one of the blades. Ellie witnesses the murder and tries to warn her friends, but is unable to form the words due to the shock.

Jessica and Claire find Mickey’s body along with the tire iron stabbed in the wall. Andy then sends the two a message on their phone of a video of Megan’s murder, recorded on her own phone, and messages them to come to the lake under the alias of Megan. Cassidy meets up with Andy again and tells him to leave party while she goes.

At the lake, the girls meet up with Garret and Jessica runs the car over him, only to find out that he received the same messages as well from Megan’s phone, making them realize the Garret isn't the one messing with them.

The sorority sisters head back home where everyone has left the party after the jacuzzi overheated with the amount of bubbles filling up nearly the entire backyard. Claire heads into the bubbles to turn the jacuzzi off while holding a flare gun from the car to protect herself. As the rest head inside, Andy uses Chug’s phone to message Cassidy, Jessica, and Ellie that Chugs is dead. As they wonder why the text didn’t include Claire’s name, Claire tries to get back inside the house only to get dragged back into the bubble pile by the jacuzzi cord wrapped around her ankle. Andy attacks her while in the bubbles and Cassidy tries to run in to save her just as the flare gun is seen being shot with. Cassidy looks through the bubbles until she finds Claire’s corpse with the flare burning in her mouth.

Cassidy, Jessica, and Ellie walk upstairs where they find Maggie, who admitted of sleeping with Jessica’s boyfriend, Kyle, and their den mother, Mrs. Crenshaw, arrives with a shotgun. Jessica slips about Megan’s death and admits that she told Kyle about the accident. Mrs. Crenshaw looks around the house and tries to shoot Andy with the shotgun in the kitchen. Andy throws the tire iron at her but misses, hitting the refrigerator door behind her. However, Mrs. Crenshaw’s shotgun ran out of ammo. As she tries to put more shells in her shotgun, she moves in front of the tire iron still struck in the door and Andy pushes the table in front against her, pushing her onto one of the tire iron’s blades and impaling her. She tries one last attempt to shoot Andy as he walks away but misses and dies.

Maggie, believing her sister is still alive, looks around the house and finds Andy, who throws a Molotov cocktail at her. Maggie moves out of the way and the cocktail hits the floor, creating a fire that starts to burn the house.

Jessica and Cassidy go through the house, as it slowly burns, to find Mickey’s phone to call for help. They find Kyle wearing the gown and they try to hide from him when her starts becoming aggressive after Jessica confronts him about sleeping with Maggie. The two hide in a bathroom where they find Megan’s corpse and Kyle chops the door down with the house’s fire axe. Cassidy tries to escape but Kyle pins her to the wall. Andy then appears, not wearing the gown, and kills Kyle with the fire axe.

As Jessica exits the bathroom, Andy comforts Cassidy until she notices him holding the tire iron in his hand, making her and Jessica realize that Andy was the killer all along. Jessica tries to reason with Andy, but having enough of her talking, he uses the tire iron to impale her through the mouth.

Andy reveals to Cassidy that he killed anyone who knew about Megan’s death for her own sake and asks if she’s with him. While shocked at the reveal, Cassidy pretends that she’s with him and he decides to go after Ellie next, since she was the first one who revealed the incident, despite the house being on fire. Cassidy manages to find Ellie first and tries to escape the house with her, but Andy finds her betraying him. Andy tries to kill her with the tire iron but she knocks him out with a lamp.

Ellie heads out of the burning house while Cassidy tries to help Maggie, who is trapped in a burning room. Andy appears in the room as well, wearing the graduation gown. Taking the rope from a nearby flag, Andy ties it around the tire iron to throw it at Maggie and pull it back to him. Cassidy manages to knock him back down with a stand post, but he gets back up and tries to kill her with the stand post, smashing the ground and making her nearly fall down a hole in the floor. Andy is about to kill her until Ellie appears with Mrs. Crenshaw’s shotgun and shoots him down to the floor. Once hitting the ground, the burning floor gives to his weight and breaks down, sending Andy to the burning room underneath and killing him. With Andy dead, Ellie manages to save Cassidy and Maggie and they escape the burning house.
