Young, beautiful Vicky Lester grew up oppressed in dismal, gruesome inner-city surroundings. She meets and befriends Stan, a lonely, kind man who encourages and helps her to strike out on her own and make a better life for herself. But Vicky is haunted by a horrific childhood secret, a trauma embedded so deep in her psyche that even she can't confront it head on. Laden with dread and guilt, she embarks on a memorable and promiscuous journey as if unwittingly acting out the tortuous playbook of her youth. Ultimately. emboldened by Stan, she struggles to overcome the memories she has hidden for so long. Will Vicky be able to find real love and a brighter future? This deeply moving story also confronts us with an ageless, heart-wrenching question: Are individuals to blame for their actions, or is society?
