Rissa (May) is despondent: her birth father contacted her recently after a long spell, and when they went out to dinner together he asked her for money. She feels little warmth from her mother, and her stepdad is cool and aloof. When stepfather Brad (Newman) asks her what’s wrong, she doesn’t let him help her and he feels offended -after all, he’s taking care of both her and her mother. She breaks down and tells him about her problem with her dad, but admits she can’t relate to him as stepfather either -he’s never offered her any affection at all. Brad wants to help, but Rissa just doesn’t trust him, and doesn’t even know if he’ll leave her and mom someday…
