1) Jamie and Nicole were playing pranks by making fake emergency calls to the police. However, Nicole has a serious accident after taking drugs and falls, badly cutting her arm. 2) When Jamie calls for real help this time, the operator refuses to take the call seriously, thinking it is another prank. 3) Without emergency assistance, Nicole's condition deteriorates and she loses consciousness from blood loss as Jamie helplessly watches.
