Nick's mom is caught between missing her first husband, who was killed in combat, and wanting to give her son a dad. Forbidden by both of them to ever see Jeannie again, Nick becomes angry and vulnerable. Marie, a beautiful high-school cheerleader, likes what happened when an innocent game of spin the bottle got more than out of hand with Nick.
