Mid-1990s New York City. Patty, Angela, Emma and Nikki are high school students and best friends preparing for life beyond graduation. Their dreams for the future are very different – Angela wants to be a poet, Emma and Nikki are going to college, Patty is a young mother looking for stability in her child’s life – but the four bright, young women are steadfastly loyal to each other in a way that only teenagers know how to be. After being sexually assaulted, their lives are turned upside down when Nikki unexpectedly commits suicide. Forced to return to everyday life with grief, anger and no satisfying outlet for their emotions, the girls must come of age with a new understanding of the patriarchal world in which they live.
