In a California town in the middle of nowhere, Rosanne Skolnik lives a kind of existence that teenagers either envy or detest-she is pretty, popular, and she is dating the most adored boy in the school. Yet, Rosanne sees some room for improvement. Her attempt at alleviating the imperfection has dire consequences- her mother takes the fall for her crime. Her life quickly slides down into a morass of trouble and strife. Vincent, a loner who dream of a life with to town’s top catch, now has the opportunity to turn his obsession into reality. However, will his involvement help Roosanne regain the life she so desperately wanted? Or will do something else altogether?
