Kurze Inhaltsangabe
In ihrer Kindheit ist Charlène ein Mädchen wie Millionen andere. Erst mit der Pubertät beginnen ihre Probleme: Sie wird zu einem Teenager der besonders verzweifelten Art, einsam, unsicher, voller Hass auf sich und den Rest der Welt. Bis Sarah ihre beste Freundin und größte Feindin wird.
