An intense acting student named Brooke has two obsessions: the works of William Shakespeare, and Alex the hottest guy in the class. When Alex gets cast as Romeo in Brooke's favourite play but Juliet goes to Brooke's worst enemy, Brooke decides she's had enough. Ignoring the advice of her sensible gay friend Marc, she determines to take what's rightfully hers, by murderous force. As the body count rises, Brooke's dream of becoming Juliet to Alex's Romeo remains stubbornly elusive, and the ultimate betrayal is just around the corner.
