The film focuses on a young woman pretending to be drunk at clubs and on nights out, allowing men to take her home before revealing her sobriety and teaching them a lesson.
However, when she makes a big discovery regarding Ali’s rape, she begins to get revenge on those who didn’t help her.
Some of this includes preying on young men, going back to those who were involved, and going back to the women who didn’t believe it really happened.
It could be that some of these supporting roles are so unfortunate enough to arouse Cassie’s wrath in the movie.

The film is written and directed by Emerald Fennell, a British filmmaker who has been nominated for two Oscars for her work on it.
The film has also been nominated for three other Oscars: Carey Mulligan’s Best Actress, Best Editing, and Best Picture.
Carey’s career has recently brought her into the limelight with some daring movie roles.
This movie is one of them, because of its grim subject matter, and she also played real-life history buff Edith Pretty in The Dig.
She was recently announced as part of the cast of the upcoming Adam Sandler movie Spaceman, which is believed to be another example of Adam’s serious roles, which have received critical acclaim.
The film was recently released in the UK as a Sky Original on Sky Cinema, meaning those with access to NOW TV and Sky Cinema can watch the film as part of their subscription.
Other than the ones officially linked to the movie, any website that claims the movie can be streamed or downloaded is illegal.
The Digital Economy Act 2017 means that people can now face ten years in prison for illegally streaming copyrighted content.
To make sure you’re not viewing any copyrighted material, you should go directly to companies like Netflix or Amazon Prime, according to FACT (Federation Against Copyright Theft).
