Mid-1990s, New York City. Patti, 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 become a poet, Emma and Nikki are going to college, and Patti is a young mother looking for stability in her son’s life—but these four brilliant young women are fiercely loyal to each other in the way that only teenagers can be. Their lives are then turned upside down when, after being sexually assaulted, Nikki unexpectedly commits suicide. Grief-stricken, angry, and forced to return to everyday life with no satisfactory outlet for their feelings, the girls must come of age with a new understanding of the patriarchal world in which they live.
