Mr. Buchanan tries to teach Dominique a lesson about loyalty. Dominique's problem escalates when she falls victim to Mr. Buchanan's assaults, which trigger unexplainable panic attacks. These panic attacks cause her to question her own sanity. Somehow Dominique finds protection and an unexplainable emotional connection with a young boy named Shawn. However, Shawn has other plans for their relationship. He wants Dominique for himself. He causes severe disruption between Dominique and her family. Dominique is blind to Shawn's intentions and feels torn between him and her family until Dr. Martin, Dominique's therapist, discovers who Shawn really is.
Dominique isn't prepared to deal with the real Shawn and now her perfect world is shattering. Life as she knows it will never be the same.
