Allison rents a room to Hedy. Hedy is mentally unstable, we aren’t sure what caused her instability (too much TV?) but it is clear there are issues of self-hatred and attachment problems which Hedy acts out for self preservation. Allison becomes the object of her parental depravity and when Allison does not respond as Hedy wishes her to, Hedy becomes violent. Allison has boyfriend problems but then they make up and he gives her a dog. Hedy is still trying to form an attachment with Allison. Hedy projects her hatred for her parents onto Allison. Things get messy and Allison’s pet, Buddy, gets in the way of Hedy’s attempts at bonding with Allison (not unnatural but inappropriate) which Hedy causes to fall from their 4th floor apartment. Hedy wants to be like Allison making herself look like Allison changing her hair color, wearing clothes like Allison’s and becoming more like Allison but with a taste for murder (Point of No Return).
