Quiet Halley and popular Scarlett have been friends for years. They balance each other perfectly - until the summer of their 16th birthday. Then, Scarlett's boyfriend is killed in a motorcycle accident; soon after, she learns that she is carrying his baby. For the first time, Scarlett really needs Halley. And Halley needs Scarlett as she finds herself falling under the spell of her first boyfriend - can she resist his pressure to have sex? True friendship may bend, but it'll never break.
