Suzy Jones, the invisible girl raised by a promiscuous, drunken drug-addicted mother, has only one solace of happiness in her life: Ned Parker, the distinguished, popular cutie. The mere thought of going near him freezes her up, and she helplessly retreats into her shell. Suzy soon finds her affections conflicted by the appearance of the gorgeous Rita Wallace, who takes an interest in Ned Parker. Not wanting her flicker of happiness stuffed out, Suzy is determined to push Rita away from Ned, testing her limits and deciding whether to cross them.
