Spoilers ahead
In Los Angeles, a beautiful, troubled teenager named Debbie Strand is being raised by her previously estranged grandmother after her mother and her mother’s boyfriend die in a suspicious house fire. The grandmother is an extremely strict, fundamentalist Christian who treats Debbie as if she were her late mother, insisting she wear her mother’s old clothes rather than buying anything new. This severe upbringing fuels a growing anger in Debbie, who lashes out at times, even attacking her grandmother with her walking cane. When the grandmother threatens to send Debbie to reform school, Debbie yanks the cane from her hands and kills her with it, a shocking act that marks the beginning of a dark, Breaking Point-era trajectory.
