Unfortunate for her she is forced to go to a girls home, where she meets Brandi and Kristy who she becomes very close to. Rose is then exposed to a lifestyle of no return. Things finally start to look up when she meets a special young man. But is the timing off? Had Rose fallen too deep in the cold world of destruction? Or will her newfound love interest be just what she needs to balance out the lows in her life?
