Best friends Lou and Chantal are itching to leave their small town in favor of a more exciting locale (specifically, New York City) and have the money and transportation secured to make the move. The departure can’t come soon enough for the party-loving teenagers. Volatile Lou’s home life has turned sour—namely because her intolerant, impatient mom is back together with a shifty ex—and insecure Chantal is trying to escape her violent ex-boyfriend once and for all. However, after a night of delinquent behavior precipitated by deep personal trauma, the girls each spiral down a self-destructive trail that threatens their respective futures. Can the friends continue to forge a path together, or will teaming up lead to an irrevocable schism? FIRECRACKERS is a sharp and realistic look at rough-hewn characters on the precipice of adulthood who are getting a difficult crash course in life’s complexities and consequences—but are staying hopeful against steep odds. —A.Z.
