Some people are forced to experience life at a faster pace than others. For Rita, life took off without even giving her the chance to put on her seatbelt. Trying to maneuver life as a teen under the absent supervision of her parents proves to be the starting point of Rita’s unfortunately quick pace in life. From being forced to be the head of the household to making an unforeseen move that brings in new relationships; life has proven to be absolutely unpredictable. And all she really wants to do is slow down and feel normal. This all seems possible (to a certain extent) when Rita meets Lance, the consistent savior in Rita’s story. Things start to change for the better and she is now able to take a breath. But this doesn’t last long when an unrelenting person from her past comes in with the intention of breaking Rita down to her lowest. And if that wasn’t enough, she’s forced to make decisions that no one her age should have to make. But maybe she’s built for this.
