Young, beautiful Vicky Lester grew up oppressed in a
forbidding inner- city setting with dysfunctional parents. She meets and befriends Stan, a lonely, kind
man who encourages and helps her to strike out on her own and make a better
life for herself. But Vicky is haunted
by a horrific childhood secret, a trauma so deeply imbedded in her psyche that
even she can’t confront it head on. Most
girls grow up with a moral compass that guides them to be reticent and somewhat
fearful of saying yes – Vicky grew up with a fear to say no. Laden with dread and guilt, Vicky embarks on
a memorable and promiscuous journey as if unwittingly acting out the playbook
of her youth.
Ultimately, emboldened by Stan, Vicky struggles to overcome
the memories she has hidden for so long.
Will she be able to find real love and a brighter future?
This deeply moving story also evokes the age-old
question: are individuals solely to
blame for their actions, or is society?
