Good friends help you go with the flow. Best friends help you start a revolution. Sophomores Abby, Brit, Christine, and Sasha are fed up. Hazelton High never has enough tampons. Or pads. Or adults who will listen. Sick of an administration that puts football before female health, the girls confront a world that shrugs—or worse, squirms—at the thought of a menstruation revolution. They band together to make a change. It’s no easy task, especially while grappling with everything from crushes to trig to JV track but they have each other’s backs. That is, until one of the girls goes rogue, testing the limits of their friendship and pushing the friends to question the power of their own voices. Now they must learn to work together to raise each other up. But how to you stand your ground while raising bloody hell?

Abby, Brit, Christine y Sasha están hartas. La preparatoria Hazelton nunca tiene suficientes tampones. Ni toallas. Ni adultos dispuestos a escuchar. Cansadas de una administración que antepone el futbol americano a la salud femenina, las chicas se enfrentan a un mundo que se encoge de hombros —o peor, se retuerce—, ante la posibilidad de una revolución menstrual. Este grupo de amigas se une para lograr un cambio. No es una tarea sencilla, especialmente mientras lidian con otros problemas como la clase de Trigonometría, amores no correspondidos o la competitividad del equipo de atletismo, pero se tienen unas a otras. Esto es así hasta que una de las chicas lanza la primera piedra y desata un incendio, poniendo a prueba los límites de su amistad y empujando a las demás a que se cuestionen sobre el poder de su propia voz. Ahora tienen que aprender a trabajar en equipo, pero ¿cómo mantenerse firmes mientras se desborda una revuelta roja?
