Mid-1990s New York City. Patti, Angela, Emma and Nikki are high school seniors and best friends preparing for life after high school. Their dreams for the future vary widely – Angela wants to be a poet, Emma and Nikki are headed to college, and Patti 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 can be. Their lives are turned upside down when Nikki unexpectedly commits suicide after being sexually assaulted. Grieving, angry and forced to return to their everyday lives without any fulfillment, the girls must come of age with a new understanding of the patriarchal world they live in.
