It's supposed to be the opportunity that she does a little partying, make friends, and discover who she really is. Memories and traumas from a painful childhood make the dream seem unattainable. Try as she might, she struggles opening up and letting people in. It's not until she finally steps outside of her comfort zone, doing something so drastic from her normal behavior, that things change resulting in an unlikely friendship. With this friendship came the confidence to continue trying new things.

A connection is formed but with different backgrounds and personalities, it's not easy for them to find the common ground they so desperately seek. The one thing they can seem to agree on is not wanting to be hurt by the other.
