The Story:
When John Skinner is beaten to death in his suburban home, suspicion falls on his daughter Katrina (Emily Barclay), whose grief is short-lived. In fact, she seems to love the media attention that follows her new notoriety. Months after the case has gone to court, she tells a film crew her life story, which we see in a series of flashbacks.
Katrina is 19, an unwed mother of a baby girl called Bailee, and already legendary in the neighbourhood for her sexual availability. Her brother Danny (Laurence Breuls) is in jail for life for decapitating someone who called her a slut. Katrina loves her brother so much that she decides to speed up her inheritance, in order to get him a good lawyer. Her father (Robert Morgan) should never have promised to keep Danny out of jail, then failed to deliver.
Katrina tries to get her boyfriend Rusty (Michael Dorman) to do the deed; when he hesitates, she enlists Danny’s mentally deficient friend Kenny (Anthony Hayes), who’s dazzled by her burning sexuality. Katrina’s resolve is further strengthened when she realises her father is conspiring with a local detective (Steve Bastoni) to take her baby from her. A girl can only put up with so much.
