Damaged: Love, Lies, & Betrayal

Is blood thicker than water? Should you trust a friend you've only known for a short time over family you've known for a lifetime? An intense ride into the lives of three young women who learn to cope when faced with betrayals and secrets that turn their worlds inside out. Regina and Chloe are cousins growing up on Chicago's Westside. Now in their 20's, they've had each other's back since they were little girls. Molested by her stepfather and despised by her mother, Regina grew up subjected to endless verbal and emotional abuse as she learned to use sex as a comfort while battling depression and anxiety disorders. In this reality, the only good in Regina's hard, painful childhood came from being able to escape into Chole's sheltered, middle-class world. Chloe, lives in a world where she has always had everything she wants, but nothing of what she needs. At age 13 Chloe began a secret relationship with 17-year-old Jerome who raped her and has become obsessed with possessing her. In the course of events Chloe meets the older, beautiful and very poised Georgia. Chloe, oblivious to Regina's troubles while scheming to get Jerome out of her life, sees in Georgia a role model who can help her grow. But when explosive family secrets uncover a web of lies, deceit, and betrayals the three women's lives are put in danger as they come to understand that all actions have consequences and the past is never the past.
