On the afternoon of September 16, 2004, 18-year-old Lynn Gordon Bailey Jr. pledged Chi Psi Fraternity at the University of Colorado. The next morning he was found dead, a victim of an irresponsible hazing ritual involving alcohol. A sad situation, but made even worse because it may have been preventable. Every year, a reported 1,700 college students face the same fate. Another 100,000 are victims of sexual assault as a result of heavy drinking. Haze takes a cold, hard look at these incidents via interviews, and personal and disturbing footage to get to the bottom of one of the most un-checked but widely acknowledged dangers facing today’s college youth
