A father decides to take his pretty 14-year old daughter on a vacation to the Caribbean, in order to make up for not being a bigger part of her life. While there, she falls for an "older man" of 17 and, trying to convince him she’s older too, tells him that the man she’s travelling with is her lover André, who rescued her from a life on the streets.

Of course this little lie backfires, as the tale gets spread through the entire tourist community, and before long, everyone in the resort thinks André is a pervert. And André remains clueless -he just can’t understand why everyone clears out of the room as he begins singing "Thank Heaven For Little Girls."

The beauty of the scenery is rivalled by Katherine’s fresh young face. In her first leading role - she portrays the rebellious teenager Nicole.
