New Best Friend (DVD)
Colby University, North Carolina. Three rich coeds--Hadley (Meredith Monroe), Sydney (Dominique Swain), and Julianne (Rachel True)--befriend scholarship student Alicia (Mia Kirshner), dress her up, and throw her into their world of drugs, sex, and alcohol. But, they get more than they bargained for--not only can Alicia swim in this pool, but she proves to be one of the sharks. She takes everything--pills, powder, alcohol--dances with their boyfriends, discovers Julianne is bulimic, slips into Hadley`s house and wears her clothes and jewelry, and joins the bisexual Sydney in bed. Then, as the college mystery NEW BEST FRIEND opens, Alicia is found in a bathroom, bruised and overdosed on drugs.
Black deputy sheriff Artie Bonner (Taye Diggs) investigates. The dean of the exclusive college pressures Artie--he wants the matter settled quickly and quietly. Artie interviews Hadley, Julianne, and Sydney, and is soon suspicious. Director Zoe Clarke-Williams and scriptwriter Victoria Strouse put the narrative of their twistingly plotted thriller together like a jigsaw, interweaving flashbacks provoked by Artie`s questions, with Hadley`s recollections of her souring relationship with Alicia, and Alicia`s memory flashes as she moves in and out of consciousness on life support in the hospital.R"
