Description
Rumer plans to reinvent herself and be a star while she's on a college campus for a summer program. She attracts the attentions of Dante, a graduate teaching assistant and star athlete and is swept off her feet by his flattery and attentions. She soon finds that that a grown up relationship is more than she bargained for as Dante and his friends take over her life and he pushes her around, both literally and figuratively. Rumer begins to feel isolated and alone until she finds an unlikely ally in Dante's almost ex-girlfriend, Ranisha. Will they join forces to stop Dante's reign of abuse?
