Story
Ariel Frizzell, an eighteen-year-old girl, struggles with emotional and behavioral issues stemming from her mother's death and her complicated relationship with her father, Dr. Sam Frizzell. She is homeschooled by Markus due to her inability to function in a school environment. Ariel's anger leads her to physically assault Mary, the woman dating her father during one of their dinner dates at home. Mary's sister, Julie, who works as a topless boxer and also has anger issues, intervenes. She seeks justice for her sister while trying to manage Ariel's anger in a controlled environment, leading to unexpected consequences.
