Synopsis
When Kara spots fifteen year old, Marisol, being treated badly by her class-mates, she befriends her and seduces her with gifts and a party invite. However the unexpected happens when Marisol seeing her inner pain gives her a gift that taps into her lost faith and former sense of self. She betrays Marisol in the most horrific way but as we are about to judge Kara, we are shown the darkness of the world that Kara herself is trapped into. We witness her struggle as the memory of her former self returns and she has to make some hard decisions to break the cycle of abuse.
