When Rena meets Brent, he is a dream come true. He is a real gentleman, funny, caring and even her overly protective father likes him. But then, she discovers a different side of Brent - a violent side that scares her. Promising that this had been a one time slip up, she forgives him. After all, he is the love of her life. She dosn't see the signs -- the controlling, the alienation from her friends and dad, the obsession he has with her. She is like putty in his hands. Over time, she learns about the Cycle of Abuse the hard way and she even tries to break free. But in the end, she only sees one way out and it will likely cost her everything.

He's fallen victim to it in the past, as have a majority of his peers and friends. Erica Samson is a 17-year-old amateur actress. She is entirely new to acting, having only done several commercials. Now she has landed a leading voice role in a new children's animation picture, also starring Robert Brownlow. Robert likes his new costar, but is put off by the naivety, the innocence, that Erica comes with. In his opinion, someone like her with a new car smell should not be in this career.
