Jennifer Lawrence and Selma Blair star in a drama based on the teenage years of writer and director Lori Petty. Agnes is the oldest of three daughters who finds herself caring for her younger siblings when her single mother turns to prostitution, drugs and alcohol after meeting a pimp named Duval, who seems to have a fondness for Agnes. With their house overrun by gamblers, criminals and other seedy characters the girls struggle to lead a normal life. Cammie escapes the chaos of the house only to sit in bars and Bee wants nothing more than to run away and be adopted, while Agnes tries to earn enough money to support her family and manage the expectations of being a star basketball player.
