Should she trust Ace and believe her father gave him the money, or
head home to her mother, a religious hypocrite who would have no

Before
Jackie can decide who the good guys really are, she finds herself

terribly wrong, and Jackie's only choice seems to be to walk away
from Ace or face imprisonment.
