Summary
In 1950s Christchurch, New Zealand, two intensely imaginative teenage girls, Pauline and Juliet, forge an obsessive friendship and retreat into an elaborate fantasy world of their own creation. When their families move to separate them, the bond curdles into something darker, building toward a shocking real-life crime based on the infamous Parker-Hulme case.
