Dead Giveaway
Jill (Ruby Modine) wakes up from a wild night of drinking to find a shocking surprise—there’s a dead man stabbed to death in her bed, and she has no memory of how he got there. To make matters worse, her clothes are covered in blood. With her roommate Sarah (Suzann Toni Petrongolo) heading out to the gym, Jill frantically calls her best friend Lia (Mikaela Hoover) for help. What starts as a morning panic quickly turns into a darkly comedic scramble to clean up the mess before anyone finds out – and more importantly, before they miss brunch. Despite their bickering, Jill and Lia agree that calling the police is out of the question. After all, brunch is still on the table—if they can solve this problem fast. As Jill struggles to piece together hazy memories of the night before, a man named Mark (Buddy Caine) arrives looking for his brother, who apparently left the party with Jill. But Mark’s questions only lead to more confusion, and in a panic, the girls knock him out, adding to their growing list of problems. Things take a chaotic turn when they discover a brick of cocaine on the dead man, Tom (Andrew Vogel). Just when they think it can’t get any worse, Sarah returns home, forcing Jill and Lia to keep their cool while hiding the evidence. As more players enter the scene—Tony (Jeremy Feight), looking for Sarah, and Jay (Jessie Hitner), Mark’s brother—the lies pile up and tensions rise. Then, in a shocking twist, Vicky (Scout Taylor-Compton) sneaks in and holds Lia hostage. It turns out, Vicky killed Tom in a jealous rage, assuming he was cheating on her. What follows is a frantic showdown involving dismemberment, a gunshot, and one last desperate attempt to keep Sarah in the dark about her double life as a drug dealer. With bodies knocked out and the truth revealed, the girls finally manage to dump the body (well, bodies) and make it to brunch.
