Denise Caparelli is a 19-year-old girl who has been getting by on very little income all her life. Her rich, slutty, and spoiled "best" friend, Erika Green, made friends with her when she had first moved to New York from Britain.

Denise didn't necessarily like the life she created in New York, but she had hoped that maybe it would be a chance for her to get discovered for her singing talent and piano skills. Unfortunately, nothing went as planned. Her blonde friend continued making her life miserable, and she was getting nowhere.

For once, her luck took a turn for the better when she entered a radio contest and won a free ticket for a cruise. When she arrives, the day goes somewhat smoothly.

Until night falls, that is. After that tragic event, her life would never be the same.
