SCENE OPENS as Sarah, a typical teenage girl, drives through a suburban neighborhood. She’s on her way to pick up Karen, her best friend, to celebrate the July 4th weekend at her parents’ house. She pulls up to the curb and finds Karen waiting at the end of her driveway. Tote bag in hand, she hops in the front seat and the pair drive off. The two 18-year-old girls have been close since they were kids and, now that they have both recently graduated from high school, this will be the last holiday they spend together before college. It has been a longstanding tradition that Karen spends the weekend with Sarah’s family, since they always plan better Independence Day activities than her own. Sarah’s father is particularly over-the-top about holidays … making sure his family has lots of fun things to do. It’s part of the reason Karen has always looked up to Sarah. Her life seems so perfect. As the two girls small talk, they drive back to Sarah’s house and pull into the driveway. Sarah’s father is waiting for them on the landing, sporting a cheesy BBQ apron and waving. ‘Oh god, how embarrassing,’ Sarah laughs. Karen laughs too, noting that at least it isn’t as bad as the one he wore last year. They get out of the car and run up the stairs, each hugging Sarah’s father, before heading inside.
CUT TO TITLE PLATE
That afternoon, the family spends time together in the backyard. Sarah’s father is tending to the grill while his wife relaxes with the two girls. They chat about their college plans and Sarah’s mother teasingly asks Karen if she has a boyfriend yet. Karen responds that she doesn’t … but Sarah’s mother doesn’t let it go. While this conversation is happening, Sarah’s father grills in the background. The camera frequently cuts to his point of view, as we see him zero in on Karen and watch her intently, scanning up and down her body. The mom keeps asking questions and it gets to the point where Karen begins to feel a little uncomfortable. She is much more reserved than her best friend, especially when it comes to boys, so she isn’t used to divulging intimate information. Sarah catches wind of this and quickly changes the subject, as the parents smile at each other.
CUT to the dining room table. The family has just finished dinner: hamburgers from the grill. They are sharing memories about all the 4th of July celebrations they’ve had together over the years, and Sarah’s father raises his glass to make a toast. He thanks his beautiful wife and daughter for blessing him every day with their love. And he thanks the girl he considers to be just like another daughter, Karen, for being such a good friend and influence for Sarah. He gushes about how much she’s grown over the years and how she has become such a gorgeous young woman. The camera frequently cuts to the father’s point of view, as he studies Karen’s chest breathing heavily as she grows more awkward. ‘If only I were 18 and single again,’ he says jokingly. ‘You would have to watch out!’ The parents laugh … as Karen grips her napkin underneath the table. Something seems strange. Sarah hurriedly changes the subject again and, noting the time, asks her father to let them go get ready for the fireworks.
CUT to outside at dusk. From the father’s point of view, he studies the girls as they dance around with sparklers. Flashes of light hit their faces, as they react to the sound of fireworks and try to draw hearts in the air with their sparklers. After a few minutes of observing them, playing close attention to their supple teenage bodies as they play, Sarah’s mom walks up into the frame and whispers to her husband that it’s time to get the girls ready for bed. Their sparklers have gone out. Sarah begs to stay up a bit longer, but her father insists they turn in for an early night. He has a long weekend planned. She looks a bit frustrated but agrees.
CUT to Sarah’s bed. She is already under the covers on her side, looking at her phone, when Karen exits the bathroom and crawls in beside her. She starts to talk about social media gossip when Sarah abruptly puts her phone away. ‘I’m tired,’ she says curtly. ‘Let’s just go to bed.’ Karen seems a bit put off by her coldness. ‘Everything ok?’ She asks. Sarah says yes and turns her back on her friend. Karen lies there in silence for a moment. She doesn’t understand what’s going on. ‘Are you sure there isn’t something up between you and your parents?’ She asks cautiously. ‘Things seem a bit tense this weekend.’ Sarah laughs sarcastically to herself and mutters something about her parents liking Karen more than her anyway, so why is she so concerned. Karen tries to protest but Sarah tells her to forget about it and go to bed. Begrudgingly, Karen turns off the light and closes her eyes.
CUT to the middle of the night. Karen’s eyes pop open because the light has been turned back on in the room. Sarah still lies resting on her side of the bed, back turned. As Karen slowly sits up, she realizes that she is being straddled by Sarah’s mom, who somehow crawled into the bed behind her. Shocked, she asks what’s going on. Sarah’s mom hushes her and says that she was having a bad dream. As she says this, Sarah’s father tip-toes into the room with a glass of water. He is wearing only boxer shorts and Karen is taken aback by how fit her best friend’s father is. She can clearly see his penis underneath his boxers and it makes her very nervous. Nonchalantly, he hands her the glass of water and comforts her, echoing his wife when he says that Karen’s tossing and turning woke them both up. They wanted to make sure she was ok. As they both pet and coddle her, she anxiously looks over at her friend. ‘Is there something wrong with Sarah?’ She whispers. They shake their head and tell Karen that she is just a sound snoozer. She shouldn’t worry about her. She should just concentrate on herself and feeling better. Sarah’s mom kisses her forehead and holds her tightly while her father takes the glass back and starts kneading her shoulders. He tells her she is very tense, she must have been very anxious. Is she stressed? Not knowing what to do, Karen shakes her head. Sarah’s mom asks if they are helping her to relax. Karen nods and thanks them, looking over at Sarah again. Why isn’t she waking up?
‘We’ve always considered you to be an extended member of our family,’ Sarah’s mom says, looking her husband dead in the eye. ‘We worry about you just as if you were our own.’ Sarah’s father agrees, adding how much they’ve come to love her over all these years and how sad they are that she is going to be moving away in the fall. Shell-shocked, Karen tries to appease them by saying how welcome she’s always felt and how sad she is to be leaving as well. They’re like her second parents. ‘We want to make sure you leave with only the best memories,’ Sarah’s mom continues, wrapping her arms tightly around Karen. ‘And, now that you are 18,’ her father adds, ‘we want to show you just how much we care about you … before you go!’ Sarah’s mom smiles at her husband and they lean in to kiss each other, directly over top of Karen. Karen swallows hard, her eyes darting between them and her best friend. She sees Sarah’s mom pull her father’s cock out from his shorts and start to stroke it. Her eyes go wide. Sensing her reaction, Sarah’s mom tells her that it’s ok to look, she doesn’t mind. She knows how handsome Sarah’s father is and she is aware of how close Karen has grown with him, especially since she came of age. Karen tries to awkwardly protest but Sarah’s father chimes in. ‘What?!’ he asks, jokingly. ‘You don’t like me anymore?!’ Karen doesn’t know how to react. She tells him she really likes him. She likes all of them. ‘Good,’ Sarah’s mother says, slowly sitting back and pulling Karen onto her back. ‘So why don’t you just relax then, and we can all have a little fun together. Would that be alright with you?’ Karen gulps, looks over at her friend one more time, before slowly saying YES. Sarah’s father pulls down his boxer shorts and kneels to start removing Karen’s pajamas. Sarah’s mother holds her gently in place and pets her head, asking her if she’s ever been intimate with a grown man before. Karen stammers that she’s a virgin and, smiling at each other, the mom warmly tells promises that this will be special. Her special little secret with her second parents. Karen says ‘ok’ slowly, as she gulps again and looks down to see Sarah’s father start to lick her pussy. BG SEX. As Sarah’s father has first-time sex with the awkward yet eager to please Karen, Sarah’s mother participates passively by holding the girl in various positions and encouraging her and her husband’s love making. Throughout the sex, the camera regularly shows Sarah’s father’s point of view, as he looks down on his daughter’s best friend and his wife. In the end, he cums on Karen’s face while his wife looks up at him proudly.
When it is over, the stunned Karen doesn’t know what to do. She wipes the cum off her face as the sweaty parents quickly tuck her in to bed, climbing on either side of her. As Sarah’s mom turns out the light, she tells Karen that they’ll all share the bed together tonight to make sure she doesn’t have any more bad dreams. Karen asks again about Sarah and her father reminds her that she is just a sound snoozer and will wake up happily with them in the morning. She’ll understand. They often share a bed all together when she gets scared. As they drift off, the camera slowly moves over to reveal Sarah’s face for the first time. She has been lying, completely awake the whole ordeal, tears pouring down her face. She knew what her corrupt parents had planned for this holiday weekend and she led her best friend straight to them.
