Taking their anti-social edge one step further, seventeen-year-old Gem and her friends Mira and Lo have decided to go Underground. Their activities will be extreme, anti-establishment, avant-garde and debauched. While Gem makes an underground film and Mira sets about pursuing boys-without-barcodes no one knows what it is that Lo the most subversive of the three has planned. But in the back of her mind, Gems worried. It will take great films, bad poetry and a pantheon of inspirational guides from Andy Warhol to Germaine Greer to help Gem work out the true meaning of friendship, where family fits in, and that the best parts of life arent always underground.
