Summary: Connie is a 15-year-od girl who is eager to explore her sexual awakening, with two things on her mind, boys and how she looks. But there is a tension between herself and her mother, but when she flirts with an older predatory stranger, she isn't prepared for the frightening and traumatic consequences. This film explores the exciting but confusing period of American adolescence with the potential for danger. This story is based on Joyce Carol Oates' short-story "Where are you going, where have you been".
