Mid-1990s New York. Patty, Angela, Emma and Nikki are high school seniors and best friends preparing for life after graduation. Their dreams for the future differ greatly – Angela wants to be a poet, Emma and Nikki are headed to college, and Patty is a young mother looking for stability in her child’s life – but the four bright, young women are unwaveringly loyal to each other in a way that only teenagers know how to be. Their lives are turned upside down when, after being sexually assaulted, Nikki unexpectedly commits suicide. Grieving, angry and forced to return to their everyday lives without satisfying their feelings, the girls must come of age with a newfound understanding of the patriarchal world they live in.
