Spoilers ahead
In 1984, Cat Storm is a teenager attending an elite preparatory school in Manhattan. Her mother, Lily Storm, seems strict and cold, her divorced father is largely absent, and her younger brother is a hypochondriac. Her best friend is Delilah Milford, a free-spirited delinquent whose father is a major stockholder in ShopRite.
After Delilah’s expulsion for drug possession, Cat befriends Grace Bailey, an English exchange student who helps her get in with the popular crowd. The pair begin to attend high-brow parties hosted by Peg, where a gay ephebophile named Kenny supplies cocaine. Cat doesn’t participate in the drug use, but she is defended by William Sellers, a childhood friend from dance class. She quickly grows infatuated with him for seeming so sensitive and attentive to her.
