*67

Please hold, your life is on the line.

It’s 2003 and we meet Mack, Gina, and Bri, during an awkward sleepover. Although Mack is hosting the party, she’s more of the third wheel for Gina and Bri’s shenanigans, like making prank phone calls. All calls are safe as long as you dial *…6..7…

Mack succumbs to some pot and peer pressure from Bri and makes a call to a stranger. A kind sounding older woman named Lydia answers the phone and Mack tanks the call. Fed up with Mack’s pity party, Bri urges she and Gina leave but Gina, still loyal to Mack’s long time friendship, refuses to go. As the two girls begin to fight, Mack can’t think of a way to end the prank that’ll satisfy Bri. She taps into her memories of her mother crying because her father had cheated and left. She tells Lydia on the phone that her husband is cheating, to which Lydia says she already knows, scaring Mack. Fed up with the situation all together and feeling anger towards her father, Mack half mindedly suggests to Lydia that she kill her husband. Gina and Bri are impressed with the stunt but Mack doesn’t feel right about the call and fears they’re gonna get caught. Bri reassures her that all was good as long as Mack remembered to dial *67.

Mack did not dialed *67 and Lydia has them exactly where she wants them…
