      Nejlepší kamarádky Caddy a Roza jsou jako voda a oheň. Každá je úplně jiná a možná právě proto se skvěle doplňují. Když Caddy oslaví svoje šestnáctiny, začne si přát, aby byla trochu víc jako Roza: sebevědomá, vtipná a zajímavá. Pak do jejich životů vstoupí Suzanna – krásná, vzrušující, záhadná, ale velmi komplikovaná dívka. Caddy v tom vidí šanci, jak změnit svůj nezajímavý život. Porušovat pravidla a dělat problémy je přeci tak zábavné! Jenže Suzanna toho má už hodně za sebou a její chování jí nezadržitelně stahuje dolů. Uvědomí si Caddy, že i její život začíná nabírat směr, ze kterého možná nebude cesty zpět?
