Description:

What story do Polaroid pictures really tell? During one traumatic week in 1970, two 14-year-old girls find themselves victims of an organized deception by three senior football players. Rumors and revenge, set to the background of 26 rock-and-roll lyrics, combine to reveal loyalty, sisterhood, and the special power "Alice" has for all women.
