After witnessing the rape of her best friend and then the death of one of her classmates, Cookie starts to believe life isn't what she thought it would be. Sex, drugs, catering to her new demons, and hanging out with the older crowd become her escape. When she experiences an unwanted pregnancy and the death of her mother, Cookie is left to wonder if this is the way her life will always be.
