Millicent has had a predictable 16 years of life: A strict father who expects nothing but the worst from her; a submissive, gentle mother who expects nothing but the best for her; a good education and enough friends. She's never wanted anything more in life other than to prove her father wrong and make her mother proud by succeed on her own as a strong, independent woman.
It takes just one, hot evening to spin her world around, turning her predictable life into a flurry of emotions, action and major decisions.
A simple test later and her whole life, dreams and aspirations shatter in front of her eyes. She sees she's left with nothing to live for, a lot of 'if onlys' and a scary but necessary decision to make.
Follow the story of Millicent as she battles with problems most teenagers do not face, and find out if she emerges victorious.

He placed one hand on the wall and brought his lips an inch away from mine as the other hand trailed up my arms, "I am going to make you feel my frustration." I ran my finger along his jaw and dared him with my eyes, "I'm Mila," I grinned, "You can try but we both know you won't succeed."
