When a teenager finds her dead older sister's diary in the car of her boyfriend, the last person to see her alive, she starts reading the diary to find out what really happened, and who killed her sister.
I really don't know how I feel about this movie. It's a little cliched, with the whole "teen investigates murder because adults won't", but it's...better than some. However, I don't get why, when Echo has Zoe's diary in her hands, possibly containing proof of her sister's murderer, she takes forever to finish reading it. If that had happened to my sister, I would read the whole damn thing in one sitting.
I also have to question Echo's judgement, as she starts falling in with a shady crowd, doing drugs, getting drunk, and other things she KNOWS are dangerous. And she does this because...why? Because it'll help her find out the truth? No, you have her diary for that. Going to parties and getting wasted is really not the way to help your sister.
(Also, who has a brand new car and someone can put a rock through the window without an alarm catching the attention of the entire neighborhood?)
