Victoria Voeght, a naïve seventeen year-old raised by a wealthy widower, moves into a freshman dorm and pledges a sorority. At her first mixer, a friendly senior hands her a can of cola laced with Rohypnol, and chats with her until she fades from consciousness. He eases her to his bedroom, then shares her with several fraternity brothers. Two of them later help the injured and comatose coed back to her sorority. Following emergency surgery and eight years of intense psychotherapy, Victoria acts on the philosophy: Never hold a grudge. Just get even. Through revenge you may learn to forgive.
