Synopsis

Thirteen-year-old Sarah is no stranger to sex and one-night stands, nor is her 16-year-old best friend Charly. Only when Sarah meets the older Lukas online does she begin to desire something beyond casual hookups, but is that what Lukas wants? At the same time, Charly has to figure out what she is to do about her pregnancy and her desire to find a father for the unborn child.
