Power Trip

SCENE OPENS on Jill (Kiarra Kai). She sits alone in the front passenger seat of a parked car. She looks anxious, an expression ofnervous dread on her face. Her stepfather Terry (Derrick Pierce) opens the car door and gets into the driver's seat. He flashes her abig smile and she smiles back, but hers is clearly fake and strained. She is obviously creeped out by him. It's Jill's first day at Terry'sschool, where he'll be teaching her for the first time. She doesn't seem happy about this. CUT TO TITLE Later that day, Jill reluctantly meets up with Terry in his classroom to get a lift home from school. As Terry sits at his desk, finishingup some work before they leave, he tries to make small talk with Jill. But when she ignores him, Terry gets angry and huffy, accusingher of being rude. Jill fires back, telling him that she's been avoiding him for years because of his handsy vibe and outdated, misogynistic attitude. This only makes Terry even more angry, and he retaliates, threatening to use his influence at the school to ruin Jill's senior yearunless she submits to him sexually. Jill is reluctant and hesitant, but ultimately agrees. Terry seems to be on quite the power trip...
