[edit] Plot

Jordan Wells (Jonathan Tucker), a photographer with an interest in photographing girls, meets Shay Bettencourt (Nikki Reed) at school. She wants Jordan to photograph her with an older man, Wade Chandling (Frank Whaley), for protection. In exchange, Shay will let Jordan photograph her. Shay tells Jordan that she is using Wade to help her get into Hartley, one of the top musical schools in the country. Soon after, Jordan and Shay become intimate. After finding out there has been no word from Hartley, Shay wants to get revenge on Wade by using the photos that Jordan took. When Shay meets Wade in the woods, Wade becomes angry and starts attacking Shay. Jordan tries to save Shay, but Shay ends up beating Wade to death. The two find ways to avoid implicating themselves when interviewed by detectives. Eventually, Detective Griffin (Michael O'Keefe) figures out that Shay only used Wade for the money he had, and he tries to set up an exchange with evidence on Jordan for the money. He tries to arrest Jordan during the exchange, but Shay shoots Detective Griffin. When Jordan is questioned by the police, Desiree (Julie Gonzalo) saves him by giving him an alibi. The film ends with Jordan driving away, narrating, "with a million dollars to decide what to do next."
