Surrounded by Laurel's friend Susannah ( Rachel Blanchard), her sons, Jeremiah ( Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad ( Christopher Briney), and another teen named Cam ( David Iacono), Belly suddenly finds herself in an emotional love story she never saw coming.

However, Halle recognised the importance that scene would mean to so many others who have actually been tortured in similar situations in real life. ‘Even when I knew him as like a person, it was still so scary and uncomfortable.’ ‘He was a little bit scared of my mom because she was watching me, but he made us all feel comfortable on set. ‘Chris, he was nowhere near his character and … my mom was there with me too.
