Scene 1: Montage of a teenagers party, with voice overs from the characters dipping from non diegetic to diegetic, displaying the one sided relationship she has with her “best friend”.
Scene 2: Wakes up in the middle of the night after being told she has to stop the night at the host's house. Wakes up to a hand brushing against her inner thigh and he makes advances on her without consent.
Scene 3: Best friend entered the room and the lad climbs off while she cowers and her best friend makes her feel as if she deserved it such as saying she was dressed like a slut and she was begging for it. The best friend tells her to not speak of any of this in the morning and to not make a meal of it, treating it like nothing happened.
Scene 4: They all wake up and the best friends parents arrive to pick them up, an argument ensues as the mother stresses that she was worried and she never called for when she wanted picking up, the best friend tuning the blame on the protagonist for being “too drunk” but not by choice.
Scene 5: Cuts to getting back to college and after everyone had heard the lies of how slutty she was at the party no one could take their eyes off her, obviously not for a good reason, walking through the hallways.
Scene 6: She gets the bus back home after leaving college, the stalker that we will later have a big reveal over will be seen in the back but out of focus and will have nothing indication he is a key character just aiming his phone dead ahead.
Scene 7: Gets off the bus and makes her way home beside her best friend as she raves about how much fun she had, having sex with her boyfriend over and over, but not mentioning what happened once, showing no sympathy.
Scene 8: She gets home and as soon as she opens the door, she walks directly into her father, who is on the phone, and is holding a briefcase and is wearing a suit. He raises his eyebrows to her as if to say goodbye and she does the same shutting the door behind herself as her father leaves to get into his car for another business trip no doubt. She see’s her mother on the couch who is watching TV/reading a book. She stands in the doorway to see if her mother will greet her, but is greeted with no response, so she goes straight up to her room instead.
Scene 9: She lays on her bed and receives a text from an unknown number that has a single message saying “You looked amazing last night” She instantly thinks it must have been someone from the party, and so does not think twice about it. As they begin chatting he gets rather defensive and he says “You don’t remember me? I’m not that invisible”.
Scene 10: She gets the train to her college and grabs a coffee, continuously looking down at her phone every 5 seconds waiting for the response of her mystery man. As she arrived at college she shares conversation with her best friend, talking about their lessons they have, Grace had double media so she had to go film for her documentary of how culture and society has changes in the last few decades, her best friend noticing she was getting brushed off when she began to talk because Grace was checking her phone, the best friend takes her phone off of her and reads through a lot of the messages that had been exchanged, asking if she even knows who he is considering he has an unknown number, teasing her, holding her phone above her head and out of reach, with ultimately Grace looking like a pushover. Her best friend mentions that this person could be anyone and how she could even gets raped or even murdered, pausing ever so slightly, realising what she had said, but chucking her phone back and accepting what was said was said.

Scene 11: Grace gets the flip camera from her college and proceeds to film at different locations by herself, each place getting more a more secluded from the public, filming the busy streets and coffee shops soon getting to the more quiet parts of town, areas with graffiti and homeless people.She looks at the time on her phone and realises she could run a little late with getting back to lesson in time. So she rushes back and moves the footage onto a usb and takes it home.
Scene 12: She gets home and a small montage of Grace editing her footage ensues and as time goes by she slowly drifts off to sleep, planting her head onto her keyboard, but later on being woken up by texts from her mystery man. As she is far too polite to say he annoyed her by waking her up she says they may as well chat while they are both awake so they do, it is round 2 in the morning.
Scene 13: Grace tells the mystery man about her relationships with her best friend and how it feels one sided and how she was treated, and speaks to him about how her mother treats her. The mystery man insists that she cuts off her relationships and he will treat her better than anyone else, and that he wants to get closer and this confuses Grace as she doesn’t even know his name.
Scene 14: Grace walks downstairs and grabs hot chocolate over coffee, her mother notices this and tries to make small talk with her by mentioning how long ago the last time she had hot chocolate was, Grace gets annoyed by this and is really blunt and back handed with her replies.

Scene 17: Later in college she gets another message from josh asking her to meet with him. He says how he misses seeing her from the party and that it would be great to see her again. She is unsure and is cautious, even though she loves speaking to him she was always nervous to meet new people. (maybe a montage of possible endings?)
Scene 18: She agrees and they meet in a public place (cafe? park?) and they talk and get along, they talk about the party and he sits closer and puts his hand on her thigh, she gets flashback from the party of the man toughing her inner thigh, and she freezes. he whispers "hopefully this time you'll remember it"
