It was written by David Zabel and Kessler based on the short story "Keith" by author Ron Carlson, from his book The Hotel Eden. The film stars Jesse McCartney and Elisabeth Harnois. The protagonist is a 17-year-old high school senior, Natalie, who thinks she has got life figured out. Natalie is at first annoyed by her new chemistry class lab partner, Keith, but she ultimately falls for him and discovers that Keith is hiding a secret. The film was released in theaters on September 19, 2008. The film found additional popularity worldwide after its initial release, and was named a "hidden gem" by readers of BuzzFeed in an article by Alexis Nedd. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
