She's not unpopular, in fact she is quite popular but she is tired of not being able to grow out of the child star image she has gain. She is sick of the tabloids calling her the "One Wonder Child". This has made her very bitter. At the same time a new up and coming director who has directed Hit after Hit is looking to make his first horror thriller. Since Alice had heard from her fellow actors that this new director has not only saved their careers but has reinvigirated their passion for acting, she seeks him out so she can work with him as the lead in his next project.
