Plot
Sixteen-year-old Angela (later seventeen), a high school student, meets 21-year-old Chad, and he invites her and her friend, Tenaya, to a party at his fraternity house in Los Angeles. At the party, Chad and Angela talk intimately. They begin to date and Angela finds out she is pregnant. Angela, after finding out she is pregnant, falls in love with Chad, and he swears to take care of her and the child since he had an unstable childhood with an imprisoned mother and an unknown father, and was adopted. After a disastrous dinner with Chad's adoptive mother where she reacts badly to the news of the pregnancy, Chad's mother phones Angela's mother and informs her of the pregnancy. Furious with their daughter, Angela's parents at first threaten to file statutory rape charges against Chad, but eventually are supportive of Angela, but suggest her and Chad take a break. Already beginning to see Chad's shortcomings, Angela ends the romance, infuriating Chad. Chad then begins stalking Angela and her family, and they file for a restraining order. When Chad violates the restraining order, he is arrested and sent to jail.
By the time Chad is released, Angela has already given birth to their son, Josh. Chad gets released and no one is informed except his biological mother, who has been recently released from prison as well for robbing people to obtain money for her heroin addiction. Guilting his mother into helping him with his plan, she picks him up from prison. She asks him where the first place he wants to go and he replies "to see my son". She takes him to his adoptive mother's house, where he sneaks into her bedroom and steals her hand gun. He then enters Angela's parents' house armed with a different handgun and abducts her and Josh. He and his biological mother intend to take them to a remote cabin. Trying to escape, Angela insists on going to a convenience store to buy ointment for Josh as an excuse to stall Chad and get help. Angela begins flirting with Chad, but his mom tells him that whatever she says is a lie. Chad then pulls the car over to the curb and confronts his mom saying that he has always hated her because she was more worried about partying with heroin than taking care of him as a child. He then tells Angela that he'll stop at the nearest store and get the ointment needed for Josh. At the store, she secretly asks for help by writing inside a stall to call 911. There is a woman who sees the note on the stall door and informs the store clerk about the situation. The clerk activates the silent alarm and tries to stop Chad from leaving. He shoots Chad in the shoulder to subdue him right before Chad pulls out his gun. Angela picks up Chad's gun and gives it to the clerk. She runs to the car to get Josh and Chad's mother runs to help her wounded son. The film concludes with Chad screaming in pain while his mother is crying next to him, and Angela holding Josh outside the store as the police approach.
