S03E01 Boston, MA - Girls
Episode Overview
In a city where gang affiliation is determined by your neighborhood, four troubled teenage girls face a challenging day in a female detention center that reveals the trajectory of their lives. Although they enter the facility together, tensions rise as they turn against one of their own. Thalia, a fierce 15-year-old street fighter known for her volatility, confronts both inmates and deputies head-on. When she refuses to eat the jail’s food, her peers force her to comply. Meanwhile, Jahmiya, also 15, accidentally angers the other inmates with a rude hand gesture, but she soon rallies the group to target Thalia, making her endure the harsh realities of jail life. Tina, 16 and accustomed to smoking pot, is taken aback when the deputies chain all the girls together.
