Fifteen-year-old Deena Marten wants the same freedom every teenager craves. But when she can't have her way, her rebellious temperament erupts in violence. Her parents, Stephanie and Todd, fear her new boyfriend, Garret, 17, is the cause. Distraught, Stephanie turns to alcohol, and Todd escapes in his work. They're unaware their Boy Scout son Adam, 13, sips from a vodka bottle hidden in his bedroom. And the problems in this dysfunctional family continue to worsen.

Is the perfect family just a dream?
10 November 2001 | by (Muskogee OK) – See all my reviews

Don't expect much from this depressing look a teenage girl(Hilary Swank)that terrorizes and tears apart her disjunctive family by inflicting physical and emotional injury. Directed and written by Gregory Goodell, this made-for-TV drama is hard to hold interest in. Joanna Kerns plays the alcoholic mother and Dan Luria is the indifferent father with incestuous issues. Young son Adam Hendershott also turns to alcohol with plans to runaway like his big sister. The court has Swank temporarily live with her aunt(Kathleen Wilhoite), who also has painful issues to deal with from childhood. Quite a mess and somewhat a drag. Not much fun to say the least.
