New Best Friend (2002)

In the serene hills of North Carolina, nestled amidst the greenery, lies the prestigious Colby University, a private institution teeming with privilege and secrets. When a senior student's life hangs precariously in the balance following a drug overdose, the university administration, desperate to keep their reputation intact, summons the acting sheriff to orchestrate a discreet interrogation, veiled as an investigation. As the sheriff delves deeper into the case, the veneer of a simple overdose starts to peel away, revealing layers of malicious intent, perhaps even attempted murder. As the investigation unfolds, the narrative gracefully dips into a labyrinth of flashbacks, gradually revealing the entangled lives of four young women. Alicia, a diligent scholarship student anxious about her academic standing, is unwittingly drawn into the intoxicating world of three affluent and unrestrained classmates. The trio is led by the charismatic blond Hadley, a femme fatale whose charm disguises a dangerous web of sex, parties, and drugs. The mystery deepens as a diverse cast of characters comes to light, including the girls' unsuspecting boyfriends, a shady drug dealer, Alicia's worried mother, and Hadley's influential father. The plot thickens with the introduction of doctors, nurses, and an orderly, each holding pieces of a complex puzzle. The seemingly innocent college life spirals into a whirlwind of lies and betrayal, as one girl teeters on the brink of death, and the truth threatens to shatter the hallowed halls of Colby University. Intrigue, deceit, and suspense weave together in "New Best Friend," a compelling tale of power, privilege, and the perilous journey of self-discovery in a world that's more dangerous than it first appears.
