Based on Francesca Lia Block's cult favorite 1980s novel, "Weetzie Bet" described as a neon-lit fairy tale.
Weetzie (Taylor-Joy), an ethereal pixie living in 1980s Los Angeles, where she grew up the child of an alcoholic starlet mother and a junkie screenwriter father. She teams up with her Mohawked best friend Dirk (Pellerin) to find love, leading her to mysterious trenchcoat-wearing filmmaker Max (Robinson) and platinum-haired surfer Duck (Lonsdale).
But when their bliss is threatened by deaths, breakups and Max's witchy and bitter ex-girlfriend Vixanne (Lane), Weetzie must take off her pink harlequin sunglasses in order to confront life's darkness and find happiness in a city known as much for the glamour of fame and fortune as the darkness of cults and crime.
