Plot

The TV series is about two girls. Tully Hart lived with her grandmother from early childhood. An extravagant mother rarely devoted time to her daughter, and when she came, the child, without hesitation, rushed into her arms. Once, taking Tully to her place, the negligent mother forgot the girl at the rally. Knowing only the address of the grandmother, the police brought the baby to her house.

As an adult, Tully no longer wanted to leave her grandmother, but her mother forced her. The girl had to obey. After moving to Firefly Lane, Tully soon met Kate and her ideal family. The new friend had a wonderful mother, father and brother. And at Tully’s house at this time everything was the same: her mother brought different people home, drove around in a truck with hippie symbols and was not ashamed of the disorder in the house.

Tully cooked for herself, cleaned, washed, and when Kate came to visit her, she said that her mother had cancer. It was difficult for the girl to admit to her friend that her mother was behaving disgustingly because she herself chose this path. Only when Mrs. Mularkey pressed on Tully, the girl decided to confess her lies to Kate.

Once a schoolboy gave Tully a drink and took her to the forest, where he forced her to be intimate. The girl was against these actions, but strong alcoholic intoxication did not give her the strength to resist. Realizing that she took alcohol of her own free will, and also went with him into the forest on her own, Tully decides not to report it to the police. She only cries to her best friend about a terrible event.

Soon after the incident, the guy decides to tell everyone that the girl is easily accessible. Tully was furious. Trying to run him over in her mother’s truck, she realizes that even his death will not bring her relief. In the future, Tully tries to prevent anything like this. Thanks to the efforts and parting words of Kate’s mother, Tully becomes a journalist, not forgetting about her friend.

The years have not been kind to their relationship. Throughout their lives, there were many conflicts between them, but love for each other and long-term friendship helped them walk this path together. Only when disagreements began between the women, Kate realized that she did not want to understand her friend, and Tully fought with all her might for friendship. Tully’s death was the beginning of the end. For both women.
