Spoilers ahead

Corinne Burns is a 17-year-old girl whose mother has just died from lung cancer. She works long hours at a fast-food restaurant to help support herself and her younger sister in a town hammered by the early-1980s recession. A local TV interview captures Corinne’s blunt, confrontational side as she pushes back against a smug reporter and even fires back at her boss, a moment that rings true with teenage viewers who see a mirror of their own frustrations. A follow-up segment keeps Corinne in the spotlight, showing her flippant, sarcastic streak toward the journalist, while she also slips in a plug for her garage band, The Stains, a trio that includes her sister Tracy Burns and their cousin Jessica McNeil.
