Story Line

Rebecca White (18 years old) recently graduated high school and was accepted at USC. She is enjoying her last summer home when she meets Alex. After a few encounters they fall madly in love only to be caught by Grace White. Meanwhile, Alex and Frank had been hanging out almost daily breaking the stereotypical worker/employer relationship. Grace is upset about these relationships and demands that Alex be fired immediately. Rebecca maintains the relationship with Alex during the beginning of her college career.

Story Line (Cont.)

The relationship works however there are constant challenges such as: Alex going to community college, their friends not getting along, the commute to see each other and the lacking ability to relate to each other. This makes Alex mad and at a sorority party they begin to argue and one of her fraternity friends gets into a fight with Alex about how to treat a girl. Alex is eventually pushed off of the balcony of the house and dies. Frank comes to Rebecca’s help and this brings together the family.
