Months after his beloved wife's death, busy breadwinner Tom Bradshaw's best efforts can't prevent his brat daughters bickering endlessly, yet shows angelic patience. Kid sister Dorrit systematically rivals firstborn Carrie, especially over mother's keepsakes, and is caught sneaking out to a college age party. Carrie confides into and commiserates with her school buddies Maggie Landers and Jill 'Mouse' Chen, but starts finding they lie and cheat too, even among themselves. Carrie is tickled pink with a menial fashion job father arranges for her and prefers an adult invitation trough 'friend' Larissa, a shoplifting photographer, to her formal school dance. Thus she fails to honor an enviable invitation by the new kid at school, her handsome cocky former public swimming pool playmate Sebastian Kydd, who already dates another, yet grants her another chance.
