A move to a new school in a new city puts great pressure on Alice, a high school student. Hoping to be liked, she tries desperately to be friendly with the school's "popular" students. Eventually she is invited to a party and she is introduced to drugs.

This is a true story based on the actual diary of a teenage girl caught in the vicious web of drug addiction and her desperate fight back to the real world.

William Shatner plays a role light-years removed from that of Captain Kirk in Star Trek, and Jamie Smith-Jackson is utterly convincing as the young girl trying to cope with the humiliation and degradation which drug abuse can bring.
