It's the 1960s, and teenager Martha Goldenthal just wants to do well at Berkeley High and apply to college-but how can she when her father is a raging batterer who disdains academia, and her mother is arguably worse? When her mother abandons the family, Martha must stand up to her father to fulfill her vision of going to college.

Sunt anii 1960, iar adolescenta Martha Goldenthal vrea doar sa se descurce bine la Berkeley High si sa aplice la facultate - dar cum poate ea cand tatal ei este un batator furios care dispretuieste mediul academic, iar mama ei este, probabil, mai rea? Cand mama ei abandoneaza familia, Martha trebuie sa-i faca fata tatalui ei pentru a-si indeplini viziunea de a merge la facultate.
