Synopsis

Ten years ago "The Screech" was the hottest lesbian band around. Iris and Lily were the lead vocalists, MJ the producer, and Carol always toured with them. But their popularity is now long since past. Iris now drinks too much and fantasizes about a comeback. She and MJ split up years ago. Carol and Lily are bored by their relationship. Then Cricket arrives on the scene. This twenty-year-old is looking for trouble and finds it. After a pool party awash with cocaine and alcohol, Iris winds up on Cricket's lap. This makes MJ furious. An argument ensues and escalates into a fight during which Cricket is injured and dies. The girlfriends decide to overcome their differences and cover-up this ugly secret by ditching the body. Then, one year later, Skye turns up on Lily and Carol's doorstep with revenge as her aim.
