Two college buddies, Ben and Jared, love to play practical jokes on people. Their girlfriends witness them and sometimes laugh, but often warn the guys against doing them. Ben is clearly the leader here, and insists that they are just having harmless fun.
Ben has a younger brother named Chance who is still in high school. Though Chance is an excellent student, he is also quite innocent and clueless. He is a classic nerd, the type of guy who has never kissed a girl. In spite of their different personalities, Ben loves his younger brother very much.
One night at a big party, Ben and Jared convince a young woman to make aggressive moves on Chance. It works! As expected, Chance is caught completely off guard. But he also enjoys it, as this is his first sexual experience. The following day, Ben suggests to Chance that he should get tested for HIV, just in case he was infected. Chance does not think it necessary, but agrees to do it. They then both visit a local clinic for the HIV test.
All of this is part of the next prank: Ben creates a doctored report that indicates that Chance is HIV positive. As it uses the same hospital forms from the clinic, it looks official. Ben leaves the report in an envelope at the house, knowing that Chance will discover it when he gets home from school.
Ben and Jared go out for the day with their girlfriends, laughing and wondering how Chance will react when he discovers the news. The girlfriends are not so sure. Even Jared is not sure if this prank is cool.
Chance arrives home and reads the test result, and then panics. He then goes into his bedroom and hangs himself. The two couples arrive later and make the tragic discovery when they open the bedroom door.
This short was well made. The actors are convincing, and the production value is excellent. Chance especially seems convincing as an innocent victim.
