CGiii Comment

"D", wakes up to the moans of her father's one-night stand. Annoyed at first, D slowly warms up to Vanessa, who is quite the sight for her sore eyes. With her dysfunctional father, Kyle, as her only role model, D navigates the struggles of coming into womanhood while pining for Vanessa, her rare hope for tender, feminine attention. When Kyle drives Vanessa away, D is left to handle her first period with her dad as an untoward sidekick, a defining moment in their relationship.
