Set in the Chicago suburbs during the tumultuous year of 1985, the narrative unfolds in a high school environment marked by social tensions and dark themes. It explores issues of misogyny, homophobia, and class conflict against a backdrop of adolescent life, all while a blood-stained Mercedes symbolizes the chaos and consequences of drug use, specifically cocaine. The story captures the struggles of youth navigating a world rife with societal challenges.
