A coming-of-age story about some young Filipino girls in the San Francisco Bay area; Kristine (age 13) knows her super-smart cousin Jamie's boyfriend is involved in a gang, but Jamie needs Kristine's help to see Raul secretly and fixes Kristine up with Fabio -- which leads them all into a dangerous situation.
