A chronicle of the hard-knocks lives and unlikely friendship of two 16-year-old girls, set in a "dreary little mill town" in the Pacific Northwest. Thrown together in foster care, lippy Gwen Perez, who recently lost her mother, and prissy Lila Abernathy, a ballerina in remission from leukemia, clash and bond.
