Jessa has been raised to be a "perfect girl." Speak politely to those around you, don't rock the boat, and follow the rules - no matter what. Her friends love to give her a hard time for being such a goody two-shoes, but Jessa likes it this way. She knows what's expected of her, and she's happy to be the person her parents (and society) want.
When Jessa parents go out for the night, she invites her friends over for a sleepover. Pizza, a movie, gossip - what can go wrong? But things go south before the pizza gets cold. First the power goes out, and then there's unexpected guest after unexpected guest (some more welcome than others). Before Jessa knows it, she's at a neighbor's house drinking tea with a classmate's mother who seems more than a little off. And it only goes downhill from there.
