48/47
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 are very different – Angela wants to be a poet, Emma and Nikki are going to college, and Patti is a young mother looking for stability in her child’s life – but the four bright, young women are unwaveringly devoted to one another and different in a way that only teenagers can. Their lives are then turned completely upside down when Nikki unexpectedly commits suicide after being sexually assaulted. Filled with grief, angry, and forced to return to everyday life without a satisfying outlet for their feelings, the girls must grow up with a new understanding of the patriarchal world in which they live.
