Lucky Ones

Vanessa's luck has just run out. Though she's supposed to be her parents' perfect daughter in every way — the one with the college degree, the big-girl job, and the successful lifestyle — her sudden and unexpected break-up from her ideal boyfriend has left her reeling.

Bradley, however, is used to disappointing her parents. As the "rebel" of the family, she's never had to live up to the expectations her older sister has. In an effort to cheer her sister up, Bradley invited Vanessa to a night on the town which quickly turns south, when Bradley is drugged and almost snatched from the Lucky Ones bar.

Even though the owner, Jones, saves her sister from a dire fate, the attack stirs a tragic incident from Vanessa's past — one that she's tried to keep buried. Haunted by its reemergence, she'll either have to face what she's feared to admit, or drown in silence.
