Gossip Plot Summary
What happens in Gossip from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
On a Manhattan college campus, a tight-knit trio—Derrick Webb, Travis, and Cathy Jones (referred to as Jones)—share a dorm, a classroom, and a growing interest in how rumors shape reality. In their Communications course with Professor Goodwin, the class explores the power of gossip, and the three friends decide to turn that energy into a bold, final paper. What begins as a study in intrigue quickly spirals into a real-life experiment: they will start a rumor, track its spread, and see what it costs everyone involved. The plan is simple, almost performative, but the consequences prove anything but.
