The lives of three New Jersey girls from the same Latino neighborhood intersect in prison: Oz is a tough seventeen-year-old tomboy who commands respect on the streets, even though she is conflicted about her chosen profession--dealing drugs; Suzette is a fifteen-year-old who gets knocked up by a smooth-talking hustler, a fact she must keep hidden from her mother, a domestic worker desperate to help her daughter escape the cycle of poverty; and Marisol is a free spirit who got sucked into the vortex of crack use and is fighting to keep her young daughter out of foster care.
