Plot

As Lisa embarks on her exciting freshman year at college, life couldn't be more promising. Landing a coveted role at the university paper and attracting the attention of the charming Steven, her life is coloured by the hues of a perfect college dream. Alongside her vibrant roommate, Shelby, Lisa steps into the enticing world of sorority, a legacy left by her mother, a founding member. However, this seemingly idyllic world darkens quickly during the infamous "hell week" of the sorority initiation, as the new pledges are subjected to degrading rituals. Amidst this chaos, Lisa finds herself wrestling with her desire to belong and her growing disillusionment. Tragedy strikes when Shelby plummets from the campus clock tower in a chilling late-night incident, her death sending shockwaves through the college. Amidst the echoing silence that follows, Lisa refuses to accept the easy explanation of suicide. Armed with her journalistic instincts and Steven's unwavering support, she embarks on a quest for the truth. Yet, Lisa's pursuit of justice is met with stony silence. Her sorority sisters, bound by an unspoken pact, offer no insights, and the campus authorities seem eager to bury the matter. As Lisa peels back the layers of secrecy, she finds herself pitted against a system designed to protect its own. Will she uncover the truth before it's too late, or will she too succumb to the pressure of belonging? Dying to Belong presents a thrilling exploration of college life, where the desire to fit in can lead to deadly consequences.
