In one way or another, everybody abused Carrie. Her fanatical mother
forbade this sixteen-year-old misfit everything that was young and
fun. She was teased and taunted by her classmates, misunderstood by her teachers, and given up as hopeless by almost everyone.

But Carrie had a secret: she possessed terrifying telekinetic powers
that could make inanimate objects move, a lighted candle fall, or a
door lock. Carrie could make all kinds of startling bizarre, and
malevolent things happen. And so she did one night, when feeling
scorned and humiliated...and growing angrier and angrier...she became the vengeful demon who let the whole town feel her power.
