Raritan Female Institute

Elise Cummings has waited sixty years for this moment. Ever since the girl was killed by two fellow students on the steps of the Raritan Female Institute, Elise has been waiting in her watery grave for the old school for troubled and wayward girls to be rebuilt.

Linda Smith is one of the fortunate students selected to attend the spanking new all-girl prep school on the banks of the Raritan River in New Jersey. The overweight and no-esteem girl sees it as an escape from high-school and three years of disinterested male faces. Linds soon finds, however, that nothing has changed: she is just as lonely in her new scholastic environment as she used to be. The girl takes to wandering down to the river''s edge at lunchtime. There, she finds what she is desperately in search of: a new friend.
