It's Dublin 1979 and life is about to change for 13 year-old Maeve who's trying to make sense of everything all at once - bodies, boys, friendships and family. Her best mates wear bras already, (except Claire the feminist), and they've all had boyfriends...except Maeve. When she attracts the attention of heart-throb Brian and sneaks out to the local nightclub, The Grove, Maeve soon finds herself snubbed by her mates and in serious trouble at home. Abandoning her girlfriends, just when they need her most, Maeve is forced to learn some hard lessons about what's really important in life.
