How far would you go for love

As 24-year-old Nicole Hewett mourns at her father's grave, she worries about her mother, badly injured in the car accident that killed him, and whether they'll be able to make ends meet. Then she sees her beloved childhood friend, Honey, standing beside her old Cadillac. As Honey approaches, Nicole realises how numb she's felt ever since Honey fled their hometown without explanation six years earlier. Before long, Nicole's old fascination with Honey is reignited, along with a new desire for her wild, charismatic friend. But the prodigal has returned bearing secrets and troubles, and when Honey disappears again Nicole must decide: Is her lover in peril Or is she the peril
