(Talent Writers March 31, 2014)
Samantha is a damaged kid. Her father has physically abused her mother for years. One day, after much resentment and abuse, Samantha finally snaps and stabs him in the chest in his drunken sleep. Her mother takes the rap and the police dismiss it as a case of self-defense. Samantha and her mom move to another state. Samantha becomes great buddies with Maria, a brilliant kid from school.
Everything is going great, until they run into a bully. Given her past, Samantha should not be bullied and the consequences may be fatal.
