Description

The plot of the show hinges around the abduction and imprisonment of a teenager by her high school's assistant principal, and the aftermath of her rescue S1E2: the character's mother says that she was "violated" by her abductor S1E5: the character's therapist specifically describes what happened to her as grooming. S1E9: the entire episode explicitly details the abusive relationship between a teenager girl and her groomer before he became her captor. The show is not in chronological order and many scenes depict the build-up to her abduction and/or show her in captivity. These scenes may be triggering for victims of grooming.
