In the male-dominated punk scene of 1991 Olympia, an abrasive queer college radical turns a cut-and-paste zine and a chaotic punk band into weapons against the boys’ club, but when backlash threatens her girlfriend’s future and fractures the band, she has to learn that a movement cannot survive on rage alone.
