15-year-old Katherine (Shipka) has a dream where her father shows her the family car. It's been horribly smashed. Kat awakens from the dream, distraught.
It's February at a prestigious Catholic boarding school in upstate New York and the students are all preparing to be picked up by their parents for break. Kat marks off her calendar - looking forward to the day her parents will come. She's brought to Father Brien's office and he expresses his regret that he won't be able to stay for the last day before break, when Kat will be playing in a recital. She becomes forlorn at the prospect of him missing her performance.
Another student, Rose, confides in her best friend that she's worried she might be pregnant and is going to tell her boyfriend that night. When both Kat and Rose's parents fail to pick them up before break, Rose confesses she told them the wrong date but doesn't disclose it's because she wants to delay them until she can tell her boyfriend about the pregnancy. Mr. Gordon, the headmaster, jokes that their parents will eventually show up since they can't live there forever. Kat is visibly upset and the two nuns who are acting as chaperones, reassure her that everything's fine and promise to keep calling her parents. They ask Rose to watch over Kat that night.
That night Rose tells Kat that she's going out. When Kat protests, Rose tries to unnerve her by telling her a story about the nuns at the school being devil-worshipers. She leaves Kat alone and gets in the car with her boyfriend. Kat hears a payphone ringing in the hall and picks up.
