Mia is a 15-year-old girl who sneaks out with her friend, Ami, to a party with young people where she meets her boyfriend, Alex. During the party, Alex lures Mia into a bedroom to have sex with her. Mia resists, but Alex is very insistent. Back home, Mia is harshly reprimanded by her parents for sneaking out. She discovers later that day that Alex had filmed her in the bedroom and that he is using the video for blackmail purposes. After informing Mia's parents, they decide to take matters into their own hands to protect their daughter. This settlement doesn't satisfy her, as she wants to prove to her parents that she didn't give in to Alex's demands that night in the bedroom.
