Triple Dog is a 2010 Canadian film . It is about a group of teenage girls who play a game in which they overcome difficult challenges. In the course of the film they also discover the truth behind the suicide of a schoolgirl.
action
Chapin is lying on her bed with a skateboard. A flashback shows a girl jumping off a bridge into a river and not making it back to the surface.
Eve, who is new to town, is celebrating her sixteenth birthday with friends Nina, Sarah and Cecil. As her mother insists, the outsider Liza comes, who is only called "Rat Girl" by everyone, because she always carries a little rat in her bag. Finally, Chapin also comes to the party, who recently had an argument with Liza at school. Since Chapin finds the party boring, she suggests playing a game called "Triple Dog," a variant of Truth or Dare , but without 'Truth'. One participant chooses another who gives her a task that she then has to carry out. If she fails, her hair will be shaved off. If the task seems impossible to her, she can also challenge the person setting the task, then she has to cope with the task herself, but if she succeeds, the participant's hair is then shaved off.
It is Sarah's turn first. Liza gives her the task of walking around town naked. When she does that, the others drive behind and record her on video. Next, Liza has to wait until midnight in a cheerleading outfit in the closet of Eve's brother, who is playing video games with friends in his room. When Chapin calls her, Liza's cell phone rings and she is discovered, but she stays in the closet and even comes closer to Eve's brother. In the meantime, Cicely has the task of urinating in the front yard of the headmaster Sclao, then Chapin has to steal a copy of the men's magazine Penthouse , which is behind the counter, in a kiosk where there is also a security guard .
As the last Eve gets the task from Sarah to go "third base" with Whisper, a boy Eve likes, ie to have oral sex. To do this, the girls go to a party that Whisper is also at. Eve dances with him there, and they go down to the basement together, where he - when she is almost over him on the bed - asks her to stop, because he has already fallen in love with Chapin. Eve storms out and Chapin tries to convince Whisper to do it with Eve. He brings up the incident from the beginning, when Stacy St. Clair jumped to his death from the Jogger Bridge. Mallory, who was also on the bridge that evening, tells Eve what really happened. The girls had played Triple Dog at the time, and Chapin had given Stacy the task of jumping off the bridge, which drowned her.
Chapin feels challenged by Mallory to jump off the Jogger Bridge himself. On the way there, her friends try in vain to stop her. When the others are unable to rediscover Chapin, they believe that the same thing happened to her as Stacy, who was unable to make it to the surface due to the current. Chapin returns, however, with tattered clothes, admitting that he underestimated the current significantly, and says that if she had known, she would never have given Stacy the job. Later that night, the girls who have become friends meet again. Eve is mad at her father, who didn't call her for her birthday, and now calls him himself, but is turned away by him because of the late time. She decides - although the others do not demand it - to accept her punishment for the task she has not mastered and lets her shave her hair because her friends are important to her. The last scene shows Chapin returning to the bridge the following day and apparently having made her peace with the story.
