This film chronicles a young girl's bitter rite of passage as she enacts her most forbidden sexual desire. Fifteen-year-old Sammy has recently become aware of desires she awakens in men but one man to whom she is herself attracted is her older brother Jacob. With an institutionalised father and a mother neither sibling has seen for years, Jacob provides for the household through his trade in meat declared unfit for humain consumption. This situation has sufficed for years but the dedication with which Jacob watches over his little sister leaves her no room to mature as a woman. In a bid to express and exercise her burgeoning sexuality Sammy seduces the father of her best friend. The dice has been cast and an inevitable momentum draws Sammy and her brother into a union which is both unavoidable and ultimately intolerable. Sammy realises the need to take responsability for her behavior. Whichever course of action she feels as necessary will not be possible without her making the most personal sacrifices.
