Underage Debbie Strand is being cared for by her grandmother Fiona in Los Angeles after her mother and boyfriend are killed in an unexplained fire in their own home.

When Debbie meets her English teacher Peter Rinaldi on her first day at the new high school, she falls in love with him and immediately tries to win him over.

criticism
"Rose McGowan [...] is the focus of a typical US suburban setting, a psychological thriller of the brand 'disturbed Lolita on the murder train'. Director Steve Cohen, up to now a reliable supplier of mediocre B-actionware, is serving his best film to date, even if clichés are in line and the resolution should not surprise anyone. "
