四个拥有不同生活轨迹的少女，喜爱摄影用镜头记录一切的女孩麦蒂（海蒂·布雷斯HedyBurress饰），胆小内向的丽塔（珍妮·刘易斯JennyLewis饰），出身富有家庭却总是遭到父亲痛打的戈尔迪（清水珍妮JennyShimizu饰）以及女孩比奥莱特（莎拉·罗森博格SarahRosenberg饰），本在艺术学校过着一如既往的校园生活。然而这循规蹈矩的日子，都被一个突然来到这里的流浪少女“Legs”（安吉丽娜·朱莉AngelinaJolie饰）打破了。软弱的丽塔遭到男老师的性骚扰却不敢言语，Legs挺身而出为其解围。很快，五位女孩成为了朋友，叛逆不羁的Legs成为“恶女帮”的领袖。她们将郊野外一间废弃的旧屋作为秘密基地。她们开始抗争、反叛，她们开始寻找各自的自我，然而这条追寻绝对自由的道路却渐渐偏离了原有的轨迹。
