Kim is a bright, frustrated and cynical fifteen year old. On the brink of hormonal overload she's the oldest child in a dysfunctional middle class family and her only focus and her only pleasure is Maria Sweet aka Sugar. Assured, confident and already playing on her physical charms, she is the lust of Kim's life and invokes desire she can barely control. Sugar Rush, adapted from Julie Burchill's novel, is a funny, warm and perceptive observation of the booby-trapped no man's land between childhood and adulthood.
