On her 16th birthday, Catherine faces her parents’ separation and enters adolescence with a bang. It is a year of first experiences and, against the grunge backdrop of the 1990s, she pushes her own limits further every day. Rebellious, free-spirited and radiant, she never takes off her beloved cowboy boots… But will they be enough to protect her?
