Linda is shy and avoids getting involved at school. But when her high school sets up online chat rooms she can't resist the urge to visit them.

Soon Linda starts receiving gifts from a secret admirer who signs his gifts, "C." She is certain that her life has taken a turn for the better until "C" reveals his true identity.
