Director: Robert Thom
Actors: Jennifer Jones, Jordan Christopher, Holly Near
PlotTara Nicole Steele is a wealthy but emotionally troubled heiress struggling with her overbearing and image-obsessed mother, Astrid. Suffocated by her mother's expectations and her own insecurities about her weight and appearance, Tara becomes deeply withdrawn. Her life takes a sharp turn when she encounters the enigmatic and rebellious rock singer, Bogart Peter Stuyvesant. Bogart, who exudes a dangerous charisma, entices Tara into a wild and hedonistic world that starkly contrasts with her privileged but stifling upbringing. Under his influence, Tara begins to defy her mother and experiment with a lifestyle of excess and self-indulgence.
As Tara dives deeper into Bogart's chaotic world, she finds herself increasingly trapped between the conflicting forces of her family's rigid control and the seductive anarchy offered by Bogart. The more she immerses herself in this new existence, the more strained her relationship with her mother becomes, leading to heightened tensions and confrontations. Tara's journey through self-discovery and rebellion becomes fraught with peril as it propels her towards inevitable consequences. Through this voyage, she grapples with the complexities of identity, freedom, and the repercussions of unchecked hedonism.
