15-year-old Rachel Barber is the perfect girl. A dancer, a beauty, a free spirit; she exudes grace and charm. She is the envy of all girls, especially her childhood friend Caroline Robertson. Caroline is filled with so much self-hatred that she becomes utterly dangerous to herself and those around her. She is intent on becoming someone new. Even if it means murder. One night when Rachel does not return home from dance class, her parents immediately know that something is very wrong. They start a desperate search for their daughter and with the help of the police, piece together the frightening last hours of their daughter's life. (Source)

This stark, disturbing drama recreates a series of tragic events that racked Australia in March 1999 — which local police acknowledged as one of the most inexplicable and senseless cases in memory. Kate Bell stars as Rachel Barber, a 15-year-old high school student living with her parents in Melbourne. Seemingly perfect — beautiful, intelligent, talented, well-adjusted, and poised for wonderful things — Rachel draws endless hostility from her neighbor and former babysitter, Caroline Reid (Ruth Bradley). Caroline seems to lack every advantage that Rachel possesses — she’s an overweight, homely 20-year-old with terrible skin, chronic depression, and a dysfunctional relationship with her parents. Full of bitterness and self-loathing, Caroline drums up an evil plan that will take Rachel’s life. When Rachel then disappears, her parents immediately notify the police. The authorities are unfazed — misinterpreting Rachel as just another adolescent runaway — and can scarcely foresee the horrifying truth about the young woman’s fate. First-timer Simone North directs; Sam Neill co-stars as Caroline’s distant and uncomprehending father. – Nathan Southern, Rovi (Source)
