But little things about Evan start to pick at Daphne and she becomes unsure about him as his behavior grows more and more violent, his comments and actions towards her dangerous as she tries to hold onto their relationship. Her family is delighted with the impressive gentleman that Evan portrays himself to be, but when he starts pressuring her to do things that make her uncomfortable she has to determine whether she will fight for his happiness or for her own.
