Under a sweltering summer sun, 18-year-old Kacey cruises to her best friend Andi's place, backpack, games, and pillow slung in the back, radio humming low. Inseparable since childhood—even after Kacey's family split town—this is their last hurrah before colleges tear them apart. Andi's 'girls' night' invite screams nostalgia. At the door, Andi yanks her inside with a manic grin, eyes darting shadows as the lock clicks. Giggling BFFs dump gear in the living room, spilling secrets, until Todd, Andi's step-brother, storms in like a storm cloud. Kacey's gut twists—he's the family curse: jobless, jailbird, army dropout, all raw aggression. Andi wilts from bubbly to brittle. Todd flops on the couch, hijacking their chat, shredding his sister with crude barbs and filthy innuendos, his hands wandering too close, eyes devouring Kacey with hungry menace.
