action
17-year-old Erica Vandross lives with her single mother and her new partner Bob in Los Angeles . When Bob's son Luke is released from a rehab clinic and joins the family, Erica initially refuses. After an incident, Erica learns of Luke's previous allegations against teacher Will Jordan. He had sexually abused him, but was never prosecuted due to Luke's contradicting statements. Erica decides to ambush Will and drug him in his apartment to take suggestive photos. She and her friends then wanted to use them to extort hush money. Meanwhile, Erica's friends and Luke smear Will's garage door. When Will, already half stunned, attacks Erica, Luke runs into the house and pushes Will into the living room table. Assuming Will has passed out from the drugs, the teenagers sit him on his couch and take suggestive photos. The next day the police arrive at Erica's house and inform Luke and Erica that a neighbor reported the vandalism on Will's garage door and that the description fits them both. Since Erica denies everything and the police officers have not yet been able to contact Will, the young people cannot be prosecuted for the time being. Since Erica and Luke are worried about Will's health, they decide to return to the crime scene to see if everything is going well. They find Will motionless and discover that when he fell over the living room table, he fell onto a miniature replica of the Eiffel Tower, bored it into his back and bleeding to death. Erica and Luke decide to flee to Mexico. Luke leaves his father a suicide note, whereupon he alerts the police. On the run from the police, Luke tells Erica that he was not sexually molested by Will, but a twelve-year-old classmate. Since this did not want to report the incident, Luke decided to pose as a victim. Erica and Luke want to turn around to face the authorities at home. Shortly afterwards, however, they are recognized by a police car and flee. After Luke supposedly shook off the police, he confesses his love to Erica. Erica stops the car and kisses Luke. After the two have sex, the police arrest them. A month later, Erica visits Luke in prison. He tells her that his lawyer can obtain an acquittal, as numerous cases of sexual abuse perpetrated by Will on other girls have become public after Luke's arrest. Based on videos she made of previous sexual acts between her and numerous adult men, Erica was able to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor and was only given an ankle bracelet and nine months of house arrest.
