Storyline
Baby, an awkward, daydreaming teen, navigates the challenges of adolescence in a turbulent home environment following the death of her parents. Living with her detached and overbearing stepmother, Mommy Lu, Baby finds solace in her roller skates, her vivid imagination, and frequent visits to the local roller rink, Spin City. As Baby tries to make sense of her chaotic world, she encounters both the cruelty and fleeting kindnesses of those around her, all while attempting to carve out her own identity in a world that often overlooks her.

Description
A 29 year old man who becomes romantically involved with the much younger Baby. He dreams of becoming a musician but lacks the drive to pursue it. MARK is an avoider of adult life, preferring instead to hang out at arcades and the local roller rink, much like he did when he was a teen. He presents himself as a caring figure to the much younger Baby, offering her a "pre-engagement", however his ultimate actions reveal a self-centeredness and a willingness to exploit her youth and vulnerability. There are no overt sex scenes in the film but a sexual relationship is implied.
