Sometimes, the fantasy world is more appealing than reality. For Davina (Natalia Dyer), this is certainly the case, as she often finds herself falling into a world of make-believe to escape into her childhood. In reality, caring for her disabled mother has forced her to grow up too fast, and she seeks to escape through a relationship with an older boy. When the world wind romance of excitement and adventure wears off, she finds herself at the mercy of his more volatile side, and forced to live up the strange new world that she now inhabits.
