Everything was going good even after Carly broke up with her teenage love. Kyle played smart enough to take advantage of this moment and emotionally make Carly attached to him. He took her on fancy dates, shopping, dinner and even asked her to stay for the night. Carly loved the way she was treated by Kyle, unaware of the fact that something even worse might happen to her. However, after meeting and dating secretly for a while, Carly was caught by her mother. Sarah felt something amiss in her daughter's relationship but Carly did not heed Sarah, believing her mother is jealous of her.

Carly enjoyed Kyle's love and luxury until he started treating her as a prisoner. Things were getting worse as she was not even able to call someone without Kyle's permission. The ending scene of the movie is very interesting and creatively written as it creates suspense when Carly and Mel have been suspiciously bought for human trafficking. However, both of them eventually get saved by Sarah. Lindsay Hartley perfectly nailed the movie and makes for a good watch.
