The boyfriend Brent (Steve Byers) becomes the good guy when she tries to protect Denise and Justine (Jennifer Grant) from the bad guy, the gangleader Reggie (James Gilbert), who is putting pressure onto Brent to control his girlfriend. Justine, Denise and Brent have a meeting in the deep of a forest, because the pressure put on by Detective Merrin (Catherine Mary Stewart) is getting too tough, and they need to find some closure to the matter. Reggie appears, and threatens them with a gun. In the ensuing shooting. Reggie realises that it's Denise who's putting pressure onto all of them: with Denise dead, both Brent and Justine are weaker, and they won't have the strength to turn him to the police. Reggie shoots Denise, which makes Justine cry and finally pushes her to call the police. Brent and Reggie fight over the gun. Now, it's Reggie who ends up shot and wounded, and Brent cries over him. Later on, detective Merrin tells them that Brent has admitted everything, and he'll go to jail. Justine may go free, because she was just set up, and, Merrin says, "everybody realises that". Justine makes plans to go to college, and Denise reconciles with her daughter. (KrystelClaire)
