When some girls venture into her father's establishment to get some ice cream, Bea meets Kate (Lucinda Armstrong Hall), an outgoing girl her own age. The two become best friends, despite Bea's initial shyness and Kate's brash ways. However, Kate begins to shame Bea into doing things that go against her conscience.
