What it's about:

Think Pretty Little Liars meets Gossip Girls meets an undercooked Bollywood plot that talks about chums (a fixation for every pubescent story) and gives the term 'boy bimbos' a whole new meaning!

The story begins as a flashback with four sixteen year old teenagers on the brink of life altering moments. One about to slit her wrist, another wanting to have consensual sex with a man twice her age, a boy has another man at gun point, a helpless girl lying on the hospital bed, with these scenes we are introduced to the world of these youngsters who have different experiences to share.

Even though there are serious overtones of adult themes and issues, the film has fleeting moments of light-hearted banter and high school corridor gossip.

Girls in short skirts checking out boys, getting drunk at clubs, wanting to sneak out and attend parties or finding out things they shouldn't, life is pretty much a kaleidoscope for these characters.
