From the moment those panic-stricken strings start playing ‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears in the trailer, you can already feel that you’re in for an unexpected treat. The promise that there will be revenge, hard truths and more than backlash for deeds unpunished all packaged up in a cynical and rather bitter yet forceful nature of one woman who is determined to see justice done is definitely fulfilled in the feature.
Cassandra is 30, lives at her parents, works at a coffee shop having dropped out of medical school some years previous. She spends her days chatting to her boss and seemingly only friend and her nights out at clubs and bars pretending to be drunk to see if she can ensnare a ‘nice guy’ who usually offers to take her home but then quickly takes advantage. She catches them out, with varying results. But when someone from her college class appears back in her life with some interesting news, she becomes a woman on a mission to bring justice to those who wronged her best friend, all those years ago.
