Plot

Tamara Riley is a shy, lonely teenage girl who lives with her alcoholic and verbally abusive father after her mother has left. She is an excellent student— but an outcast among her peers— and often bullied for her appearance. She has a crush on Bill Natolly, her handsome English teacher. After a critical article she writes about the school's athletes taking performance enhancing drugs is published in the school’s newspaper, two of the star athletes, Shawn and Patrick, harass her and threaten revenge. Mr. Natolly comforts her, and she attempts to kiss him but is humiliated after he politely discourages her affections. Tamara attempts to perform a magical ritual to bind her fate to that of Mr. Natolly, but when she must spill her own blood, she ceases the ritual.
