CONNIETeenage Connie has her life all mapped out. She and John will go steady until she joins him at college. Then after graduation, they will be married. John will begin law school, and there will be three children, a pretty little home on Long Island and a trip to Europe... but all that changes the night she is kidnapped by a gang of young toughs, taken to an old warehouse, and repeatedly raped. Connie's dreams are shattered-nothing is the same. John is hesitant and uncomfortable with her. Her parents only want to send her away to live with her grandparents for a while. With nothing left to lose, Connie decides to start getting even with the world.MEGThe night Meg loses her virginity she sees her Idaho life mapped out for her: marriage to a farmer, a bunch of kids, old before her time. But Meg has bigger dreams than that. She knows the power her body has over men. So she hops a bus for New York City and discovers a talent agent named Max Bonaventura who is so impressed by her bounteous figure that he decides to throw all his efforts into making her a star. Sure, she might have to strip in front of total strangers... she might have to sleep with a few guys to get there... but it'll be worth it. Max knows what he's doing, and Meg knows that anything is better than going back to Idaho. Or is it?
