After several months and as decisions for school approach, the lives of these teens are beginning to change. Cara, after breaking up with her boyfriend Sean, questions her life-long goal to attend Stamford and always live up to her parents high expectations. She meets Dani, a girl she met while skiing, who teaches Cara that she should do what is best for her own needs. Cara begins to question her sexuality as she finds herself falling in love with Dani, and fears what her parents and everyone else might say or do. Sean, who was deeply in love with Cara, can only think of ways to get her back; he too begins to question Stamford for school. His use of steroids has causes him to become more aggressive, emotionally unstable, and a threat to the people around him. Sean's emotions and perspective is skewed, but he reminds himself that he needs to become a professional baseball player, even if it means risking his health. Kendra, whose goal is modeling, is beginning to get involved with steroids as well. She uses them to gain muscle and lose weight. However, when she was about to have plastic surgery done on her nose, the doctor noticed that Kendra was too thin, and it would be dangerous to carry on with the operation. The doctor told Kendra's parents about their daughter's problems with anorexia and now she is kept under close watch. The new eating schedule that has been set up for her is driving her to do the steroids in order to remain thin, Kendra is in denial of how unhealthy she has become. Andre, who always kept his love for dance a secret, is on the verge of telling the world of his passion. His instructor has encouraged him to sign up for a national competition that would be broadcasted on national television. The opportunity would be incredible, but Andre's fear of his parents holds him back. Each of these young adults has a passion and a goal, but their life is going in the other direction because of what is expected of them. Because of this pressure, their lives are beginning to spin out of control, and will soon have negative and permanent effects on their lives.
