In this timely drama we see Kara, a victim, who is forced to lure young girls into human trafficking, confront her inner demons and dangerous employers in order to break free from the cycle of victimization.

When Kara spots fifteen-year-old Marisol being treated badly by her classmates, she befriends her and seduces her with attention, gifts and a party invitation. Marisol is unwittingly imprisoned in a world of forced drugs and prostitution. However, the unexpected happens when Marisol, seeing Kara's own inner pain, gives her a gift that taps into Kara's lost faith and former sense of self.

This story ends happily, but the sad reality is that most don't. Human trafficking happens everywhere and is on the increase. This drama serves as a clear warning to young viewers who are preyed on by seemingly innocent acquaintances, either online or in person. It will increase awareness that people are not always who they appear to be, open the eyes of teenagers to this potential danger and alert them to keep safe.

The film is suitable viewing for teenagers and has no nudity or anything over gratuitous. The film also includes an additional behind-the-scenes segment which makes a perfect follow-up educational component.
