At 17, Sole is mourning the death of her father while adjusting to her new life with her overbearing grandmother in the Ladera Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. Desperate to escape, she discovers a performance art grant that would take her back to New York and the comfort of a familiar life. She recruits a pair of rebellious teenage neighbors, Jasmine and Guedado, to help her with the application and get her life back on track. But best-laid plans often go awry, and Jasmine’s volatile instability, the feelings Sole develops for Guedado, and her own secret battle with a destructive eating disorder, threaten to upend her plans and keep her trapped forever.
