Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Ben Cronin (Jesse Bradford) is a high-school athlete who once had a "drug problem" (the film never explicitly states the drug he had issues with). An aspiring Olympian, Ben is training to impress a scout coming to watch him from Stanford University. He is dating a girl named Amy Miller (Shiri Appleby) and works with his mother at the local hospital. When a girl named Madison (Erika Christensen) transfers to his school, he is seduced by her and then rejects her in favor of his girlfriend. She becomes obsessed with him and turns his life into a living hell.

It starts off with Ben having a one night stand with Madison Bell. Ben regrets what he's done, but the possessive Madison keeps stalking him. She manages to become friendly with Amy, and Ben's mother. Ben tells her that he wants nothing to do with her and that he's with Amy, this is when the horror truly begins...
