Plot Treatment: Pre-production
The title screen is going to be during the part where the main character Leah is sat in the car, looking glum then a flashback scene of her childhood is shown where she is getting picked on by these older girls. This doesn't stop until it leads to her spiralling downwards and turning to alcoholism and hanging out with the wrong people. Her life turns into constant partying and relieving her sorrows through drinking and taking drugs. However, the flashback that has the most impact on her life is when her drink got spiked during one of her partying sessions and she gets dragged out at first quite calmly but then it gets more aggressive and sexual which leads on to the next morning her waking up. The audience can only presume that she has been raped.
Weakened by these events she gets driven back to her family home where she hasn't been for a long time. Her childhood wasn't that great she lived with her younger sister and mother; her mother abused her and her sibling emotionally and physically when she couldn't be bothered to deal with them, however, no one really knew what she had been doing to her kids. One day she went out with her friends but upon coming back from the party she got killed from drunk driving. Consequently, their grandparents brought them up, even though they had quite old fashioned views she was happier with them. She and her sister were never really close but they always protected each other. When Leah grew up she moved away so her sister was left to fend for herself.
She never really knew her father but upon looking at some old photographs she decides she should look for him. Whilst asking around she comes across an old friend of her mother's who has a daughter named Rebecca. They grew up together but haven't seen each other in years when they finally see each other there is this instant attraction. The cliche love story happens and Leah asks her to help search for her father. Eventually, they find clues to her father. However, it's not the indictment she wanted to hear. Leah's father had died because he couldn't take being able to support himself as he was in so much debt, so he decided to end his life knowing he can't stand any longer without anything- not even love.
Leah is so distraught by coming across this news, that she leaves again without telling Rebecca. She just wants to hide and get out of the situation. These events lead her to go into a convenience store and buy herself a bottle of vodka. This again leads to her drinking her sorrows away. Everything seems to be repeating itself, her bad habit. Rebecca keeps calling her, she's so worried that she will do something that she'll regret.
