Clown in a Cornfield

A group of teenagers—Cole Hill, Janet Murray, Matt Trent, Tucker Lee, and Ginger Wagner—are throwing an open party at the Kettle Springs Reservoir. Cole asks Janet to capture him doing stunt dives into the water for their YouTube channel livestream. Ginger follows with a cannonball, encouraging the other partygoers to join.

Janet is annoyed that her friends’ intimate gathering became an open party. She worries that the underclassmen, including Cole’s younger sister, Victoria, might get them into trouble. She is cautious around them, monitoring their behavior. Cole stops Tucker from throwing an M-80 firecracker into the reservoir.

Cole, who comes from a wealthy background, shows the party to his audience on the livestream. He flirts with a girl named Ronnie Queen to distract her while Tucker throws her into the water. While Cole flirts with his livestream viewers, Janet notices Victoria walking off-balance near the edge of the reservoir with a half-empty vodka bottle in hand. Victoria climbs a concrete stack, and Janet redirects everyone’s attention to her. Everyone encourages Victoria to jump, which Janet thinks will boost her popularity.

Victoria jumps but hits her head on the edge of the stack. When her unconscious body surfaces, Janet and Cole drop the phone and rush to check on her.
