Plot[]
Four teenagers are brutally murdered by a serial killer known as the Blissfield Butcher, who after killing them steals an ancient dagger known as La Dola.
The next day, bullied high school student Millie Kessler attends the Blissfield Valley High School homecoming football game, where she performs as the school mascot, the Blissfield Valley High Beaver. After the game, Millie waits for a ride home, only to be attacked by the Butcher. He stabs Millie in the shoulder with La Dola, causing an identical wound to instantly appear on him. Millie's older sister Charlene, a police officer, arrives and scares off the Butcher. The police collect La Dola as evidence and launch a manhunt for the Butcher.
The next day, the Butcher and Millie discover that they have switched bodies. At school, the Butcher, posing as Millie, kills her chief tormentor Ryler by locking her in a cryotherapy tank. He realizes his innocent appearance grants him immunity from suspicion and proceeds to murder woodshop teacher Mr. Fletcher, another one of Millie's oppressors, with a table saw. Meanwhile, Millie finds her friends Nyla and Josh and proves her identity to them by performing the school mascot's dance routine. Nyla and Josh research La Dola and discover that Millie must stab the Butcher with the dagger by midnight or else the body switch will be permanent.
Later that afternoon, the Butcher lures Millie's crush Booker into a laser tag arena, but Millie, Nyla, and Josh arrive in time to save him. Millie knocks the Butcher and Booker unconscious. After tying the Butcher to a chair at Josh's house, Millie and Nyla try to explain the situation to Booker, who remains unconvinced until Millie recites a love poem she anonymously wrote to him. Josh stays with the Butcher while Millie, Nyla, and Booker drive to the police station to acquire La Dola. Nyla tricks Charlene into leaving the station so she can search for the dagger. In the car, Booker reveals that he likes Millie, and Millie divulges how much she enjoys the newfound strength and confidence she feels from being in the Butcher's body.
The Butcher escapes, and Charlene catches Nyla stealing La Dola. Millie sees the Butcher enter the police station and runs in after him, but Charlene tries to detain her. Millie overpowers her and apologetically locks her in a jail cell while the Butcher escapes in a police car. At the Blissfield Valley High Homecoming dance, the Butcher kills four football players. Millie finds the Butcher, and Nyla and Josh hold him down while Booker staves off the police. Millie stabs the Butcher with La Dola, and they switch back to their own bodies just as the police shoot down the Butcher.
After faking his own death in an ambulance, the Butcher attacks Millie at her house, mocking her body's weakness and anxiety. Millie, Charlene, and their mother struggle to overpower the Butcher, but Millie finally kills him by impaling him with a broken table leg.
