| Mimi, Kit, and Lucy are young and best friends, who bury a wish box and make a pact to open it at midnight at their high school graduation. Things never go as planned: Mimi is pregnant, popular Kit is engaged, and Lucy wants to get into music, but her dad wants her to be a doctor. They meet up at graduation and talk, and Mimi mentions wanting to go to L.A. for an audition, Lucy needs a ride to Arizona in hopes of meeting her mom, and Kit wants to visit her fiancee in L.A. They leave, with cute Ben, a drummer, agreeing to drive. The car breaks down, they sing karaoke to get money to fix the car (there's lots of money in karaoke, it seems), and they slowly reveal details of their lives (i.e. Mimi is pregnant as a result of a date rape). Lucy finds her mom is mean to her, and doesn't stay; she's unhappy but Ben is sympathetic and they get all cozy. Kit discovers her fiancee is cheating on her, and that he has the same blue beer bottle that the guy had who raped Mimi. Mimi freaks out, and loses the baby. Lucy ends up singing in the contest of her "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" song and wins the contest. The three girls bury a new box in the beach sand, and again pledge to be there for each other. |
