Detailed Plot

Julia and I wanted to develop the story more so we came up with a more detailed plot. Mainly to know the climax and what Amber was going to do to get out of this situation.

Background:
The mom died when Amber was younger because she got sick. Before this the mom was in the CIA and graduated from Stanford in criminology. The dad turned to alcohol when she died and Amber did not cope well with the loss.

Ambers' life later in the movie: 
The dad realizes he has wasted a lot of money on alcohol and the bank is taking their house. As the dad and Amber are packing Amber finds an unopened box in the back of a closet. The box has old photos of her mom, her CIA badge and other belongings. Amber asks her father who for once is not intoxicated. He finally tells her more about her mom: personality, looks, her job and how much she loved Amber. Amber gets inspired to change herself for the better to be like her mom. The dad starts to slowly stop drinking. Amber starts taking school more seriously by studying and paying attention in class. She becomes friends with people who take school as seriously as she is. She stops stealing and starts to draw more as a form of escapism. Her dad and her start to a healthier relationship because he is sober more often. She starts applying for colleges and hopes her academics help her get into a prestige four year university.

Ending:
The last year of having good grades was not enough for most four year universities. She is devastated and runs away to find the criminals herself. She feels lost ans she has no where else to go. Her dad finds her not long after. He explains to her she does not need to start at a four year university. She can start small and keep building her way up. He believes she will continue to take school seriously and follow in her moms footsteps. With this hope she takes his advice and begins at a community college. She will keep trying to get to where her mom was in life.
