Mad at the world, a high school beauty vents her frustrations and reveals her secret desires during a phone call to a mysterious radio host claiming to have special powers — and her wishes soon start coming true in unexpectedly diabolical ways. As her parents leave to have fun away from home, Anjelica sulks, and decides to listen to the radio.

RELEASE DATE: 11/15/2011
