Tiffany, “Rebecca”, an 18 year old girl in her pre-college summer, is eager to cut the childhood strings and move on to adulthood.

A dangerous, sultry summer is pivotal as Rebecca slowly learns the games of becoming a woman, and dealing with the disappointment of not getting what she deserves, while defiantly taking what she wants. All while a predatory rapist terrorizes their small Florida town.

Rules are made to keep everyone in their place, but they must push some to the side in order to create a path that allows them to be with each other. He’s had years of practice, but is she mature enough to keep the secrets that can lead to their exposure? This summer will test them, and determine whether this relationship will last...or fail spectacularly.
