Nicole Walker is a fairly innocent teenager, living with her overbearing father, Steven , her stepmother, Laura , and her stepbrother, Toby . At a rave, she meets David McCall and is swept off her feet by his sweet, polite nature. At first Steven seems to like David, but he... gradually comes to mistrust him, and he gets angry when Nicole violates her curfews to spend more time with David. Eventually Nicole and David have sex. One day, David scares Nicole when he assaults her friend Gary after he sees them hugging. He also shoves Nicole to the ground when she tries to stop him, giving her a black eye.
