The Dreadlocked Nurse
A man in his thirties who still hosts parties in his beach house that high school students attend. It is at one of these parties that Nadia finds Luke on the night of her abortion. When she asks him why he didn’t pick her up from the clinic as he’d promised, he tells her that “shit came up.” Coming home from this party, Nadia drives drunk and crashes her father’s truck into a tree.
