A raw, unflinching portrait of adolescent self-destruction and fractured family bonds, driven by peer pressure and the rapid spiral into addiction.

When 13-year-old Tracy befriends Evie, the most popular girl in school, her life is turned upside down as Evie introduces her to a world of sex, drugs, and money. But it isn’t long before Tracy’s new lifestyle begins to take a heavy toll on her and her family.
