And Then There Were Five

Six friends that met through their co-ed freshman dorms at Earhart University have another year to get their lives right, which is more than any of them could have hoped for. However, when personal issues begin to bring them down, they unknowingly split into pairs to confide in as few of the group members as possible. In their own, different ways, the relationships formed there take a turn in new directions, but despite the good that is done, it isn't enough to stop the downfall of one of their own. Five friends remain at the end of the spring semester, and the school wants to know the truth: what happened? And worse, who is to blame?
