Although struggling with inner turmoil, the 17-year-old senior is determined to bust out of her ugly cocoon and blossom into a beautiful butterfly. Near summer's end a life threatening encounter causes Desperada to emerge and find her unfurled wings. Can these new found truths cause the native Texan to soar high enough to help her overcome mental chatter, judgment, jealousy, and peer pressure?
