While the other students may be coming to school, sporting new clothes and new shoes, Kaitlynn is always sporting new bruises on her body because at home, she is her aunt's punching bag, getting whipped for any little thing she does.

With all of the bruises on Kaitlynn's body and her messed up lifestyle, Daniel sees a beautiful girl who's just been dealt some bad cards in life and wants to get to know her as a friend but he can't help the physical attraction between the two.
