Falling in love is the easy part.
Passion and infatuation ignite as two lovers flounder through their "first time" in this alarmingly sexy film set in the Louisiana bayou. Joey and Sissel are a young misguided couple trying desperately to make their way through their first intense relationship. Blinded by sexual attraction, they become oblivious to everything around them. But when forced far great than themselves threaten their idyllic existence, each must learn to cope with heart-wrenching pain and loss.
