Plot

When she is 16, Laurie meets and falls in love with an older man, 31-year-old Bruce Kellogg. She soon moves in with him, not knowing that her stepfather actually sold her to him for $500. They are happy, at first, but it soon becomes clear that he has an obsession with young girls. Naïve, Laurie doesn't notice anything, and does everything to please him. Bruce becomes more and more violent and sexually assaults her. Eventually, Laurie encourages her teenage friends to kill him. After the murder, she is charged with killing her husband, and it is up to her to prove that she was a victim of domestic violence.
