The girls of Sacred Heart Holy Angels eye the good dancers
at the all-ages club Metropolis. They waste afternoons at
the mall, check out parties on the lake, burn through
candid, casual sex. Everybody calls them the Whores on the Hill, but they don't
care. It is the mid-'80s and they go to the last all-girls' school
in Milwaukee, where innocence is scarce and happiness is
something to grabbed at in the backseat of a fast car. Meet exuberant, uninhibited Astrid, her nervy, troubled
friend Juli and Thisbe, the shy, ascetic newcomer. They are
fifteen years old. And they believe they can take on the
world, no matter what it calls them. But when euphoric promiscuity mixes with a series of
dangerous, deadly pranks, their world at Sacred Heart Holy
Angels can never be the same.
